**Why She Walked**

Yesterday, our 70-year-old patient stood up just hours after her anterior hip replacement.

Smiling. Steady. Full of hope.

After 12 years treating hip and knee patients, I've discovered that each patient is unique. That's why there is a Joint Restoration Blueprint I have for each patient I see. I believe every pain has a solution and results speak for themselves.

**Muscles Stay Intact**

The anterior approach preserves what matters most. No muscles are cut. The body heals what wasn't broken.

**Pain Becomes Memory**

Less surgical trauma means less pain. Recovery begins the moment surgery ends. Walking becomes possible within hours, not weeks.

**World-Class Care, Right Here**

You don't need to travel abroad for excellent joint replacement. Cebu now offers what the best centers worldwide provide.

If you've been told you're "too old" for surgery or that pain is just something to accept, that's simply not true.

My promise is to listen, to touch, to feel, and understand what you're going through so I can give you the best care through my Joint Restoration Blueprint.

# **Bones Breaking Young**

A 40-year-old man broke his hip playing pickleball last week.

Ground level fall. Low impact. The kind you brush off and keep playing.

Except his hip shattered like glass.

When I tested his bones, they had the density of an 80-year-old with severe osteoporosis.

**After 12 years treating hip & knee patients, I've discovered that each patient is unique. That's why there is a Joint Restoration Blueprint I have for each patient I see. I believe every pain has a solution and results speak for themselves.**

**Part 1: The Silent Epidemic Nobody Sees Coming**

Hip fractures used to be an elderly problem.

Not anymore.

I'm seeing fractures in patients under 40 from falls that shouldn't break anything. Weekend athletes. Active parents. People who think they're too young to worry about bone health.

The pattern is undeniable: your bones are only as strong as what you feed them and how you move them.

**Part 2: Movement Is Medicine, Food Is Medicine**

Weak bones don't announce themselves until they break.

Lack of weight-bearing exercise. Diets missing crucial nutrients. Genetic factors preventing vitamin absorption that nobody tested.

Every day without proper movement and nutrition is a day your bones get weaker.

The uncomfortable truth: your lifestyle today determines whether a simple fall becomes a life-changing fracture tomorrow.

**Part 3: Prevention Is Your Best Surgery**

I can repair broken hips—that's the easy part.

What keeps me up at night is knowing most of these fractures were preventable.

The Joint Restoration Blueprint isn't just about fixing what's broken. It's about building bones strong enough that they don't break in the first place.

Proper nutrition. Targeted exercise. Testing when needed.

Because the best fracture is the one that never happens.

**You know who finally booked their appointment this week?**

The ones who said "I'll wait and see."
The ones who thought the pain would just go away.
The ones who've been watching these videos for 6 months.

Here's what they all told me:

*"I wish I came sooner."*

**Every. Single. One.**

Not because they needed surgery.
Most didn't.

But because they finally got answers.
They finally stopped guessing.
They finally started living without that daily "what if."

**The knee pain you've been ignoring?**

It's not getting better on its own.
Your body is trying to tell you something.

Your peers already made the call.

**What are you waiting for?**

🦵 **Sakit sa Lukon-Lukon? Let’s Talk About It!** 🦵

Have you ever felt **pain at the back of your knee** — or what we call in Bisaya, **“sakit sa lukon-lukon”**? 😣

This pain can come from many causes:

💪 Sometimes, it’s just a **muscle strain** from overuse or sudden movement.

🦴 But it can also be a sign of **arthritis**, especially if the pain comes and goes or is worse in the morning.

⚠️ And if you ever felt a **“pop”** followed by pain or swelling at the back of your knee, that could be a **meniscus injury** — one of the most common knee problems we see!

🩺 For meniscal tears, a **knee arthroscopy** is usually done — a minimally invasive procedure that allows patients to **walk and bear full weight immediately**, with **full range of motion** soon after. Quick recovery, small incisions, big relief! 💪

👉 The best step? **See a knee specialist near you.**

Early diagnosis can help you avoid further damage and get you back on your feet faster.

Take care of your knees — they carry you through life! 💚
