Knee ligaments are bands of connective tissue that help support the knee joint.

When there is a direct blow or sudden twist of the knee, especially for those who engage in sports that involve frequent pivoting, start-stop movements or sudden directional changes, knee ligament tears can occur.

Symptoms of a knee ligament tear include a popping sound at the time of injury, pain, swelling and instability of the knee joint.

To relieve symptoms and improve joint stability, knee ligament reconstruction may be done. This surgical reconstruction involves replacing the torn ligament with a healthy tendon, which can be done through a minimally invasive arthroscopic approach.

𝗗𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗴 π—–π—΅π˜‚π˜€π—΅π—²π—»π—΄ is an experienced orthopaedic surgeon proficient in knee ligament reconstruction. Book an appointment with Dr Seng today for assessment and treatment.

Shoulder tendonitis refers to the inflammation of the rotator cuff or biceps tendon in the shoulder, resulting in pain, swelling, and limited mobility.

This condition is usually associated with overuse (e.g. in sports that involve repetitive overhead motions) or sudden strain on the shoulder tendons (e.g. a fall).

Treatment for shoulder tendonitis varies depending on the severity of injury.

In cases of mild shoulder tendonitis, conservative treatments like medications, physiotherapy and corticosteroid joint injections may be recommended.

Should the rotator cuff get torn, surgery may be needed to reattach the torn tendon to the bone using sutures or anchors.

Excessive pressure on the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscle to the heel bone, can cause the tendon to stretch beyond its normal limit and tear.

Achilles tendon rupture can manifest as a partial or complete tear, commonly experienced by athletes engaged in activities that involve a lot of running, jumping and pivoting.

Achilles tendon rupture typically causes sharp pain at the back of the ankle and lower leg, along with a popping sound and difficulty walking.

For cases of partial tearing of the Achilles tendon, anti-inflammatory medications and physiotherapy may be used to treat.

For more serious cases where the Achilles tendon is completely torn, the affected tendon may be repaired via a minimally invasive approach that ensures faster recovery and reduced postoperative pain compared to open methods.

Ageing, injury and certain chronic conditions can cause damage to the knee that could result in severe pain or deformity of the knee joint. In such cases, knee replacement surgery may be required.

Performed using computer navigation or robotic-assisted techniques, knee replacement surgery involves replacing the damaged parts or the entire knee joint with prosthetic implants made of metal or plastic, helping to relieve pain, improve mobility and restore normal knee function.

𝗗𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗴 π—–π—΅π˜‚π˜€π—΅π—²π—»π—΄ is an orthopaedic surgeon with vast experience in knee replacement surgery. If you have been experiencing severe knee pain, stiffness and limited mobility, reach out to have your condition assessed by Dr Seng today.

24/11/2025

Forceful impact following a fall, or a twisting or rotational injury can cause one or more bones in the ankle joint to break, resulting in an ankle fracture.

A fractured ankle may present with immediate, severe pain, swelling, bruising and tenderness, which can make bearing weight on the injured foot difficult.

Treatment for ankle fractures depends on the alignment of bones and the stability of ankle joint.

For mild fractures where the ankle is stable and with no bones out of place, conservative treatment with a short leg cast or walking boots may be used to facilitate proper healing.

For severe fractures with unstable ankle joint and displaced bone fragments, surgery is needed to restore mobility in the ankle joint and prevent complications.

Physical activities or lifestyle habits that involve frequent use of the shoulder joint can contribute to the development of shoulder impingement.

Shoulder impingement, or swimmer’s shoulder, occurs when the top outer edge of the shoulder blade rubs against the rotator cuff, resulting in pain and reduced mobility of the shoulder joint.

Treatment in the form of prescribed anti-inflammatory medications and corticosteroid joint injections helps reduce pain and inflammation in the shoulder joint, and physiotherapy helps improve flexibility and stability of the shoulder joint.

In cases of severe shoulder impingement or where conservative treatments fail to suffice, surgery may be recommended.

𝗗𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗴 π—–π—΅π˜‚π˜€π—΅π—²π—»π—΄ is an experienced orthopaedic surgeon with extensive experience in treating shoulder impingement. Seek treatment advice from Dr Seng if you have been experiencing persistent shoulder pain.

Responsible for providing stability and support to the knee, the meniscus is a small C-shaped shock-absorbing cartilage in the knee joint.

When subjected to the forceful twisting of the knee in contact sports or degeneration, this can cause damage to the meniscus, leading to a torn knee meniscus.

Pain relief medications and corticosteroid injections can help reduce pain and swelling in the knee; physiotherapy can also help alleviate symptoms and support recovery.

Should conservative treatments not suffice or the tear is severe, knee cartilage repair may be performed to repair or remove the damaged meniscus to preserve healthy meniscus tissue and restore function to the knee joint.

𝗗𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗴 π—–π—΅π˜‚π˜€π—΅π—²π—»π—΄ is an orthopaedic surgeon with vast experience in treating knee meniscus tears. Schedule a consultation with Dr Seng for effective treatment if you are experiencing symptoms of an knee meniscus tear.

Should you feel persistent, dull or aching pain upon sustaining a direct impact to your ankle joint, damage to the ankle cartilage may have occurred.

Apart from persistent joint pain, you may also experience stiffness, weakness and swelling, which can limit mobility of the ankle joint.

Depending on the severity of damage, treatments for ankle cartilage injury include pain medications and casting; ankle cartilage repair may be recommended for cases of severe cartilage damage.

27/10/2025

Characterised by swelling, bruising, tenderness, and a visible knee deformity, knee fractures refer to any break in the femur, tibia or kneecap.

Treatment for mild to moderate cases of knee fractures involves the use of assistive devices, physiotherapy to improve mobility, range of motion and strengthen leg muscles, as well as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling.

For those with a displaced fracture or unstable knee joint, surgery may be done where bone fragments will first be repositioned into their proper alignments and held together with special screws and metal plates to ensure proper healing.

𝗗𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗴 π—–π—΅π˜‚π˜€π—΅π—²π—»π—΄ is an orthopaedic surgeon experienced in treating fractures involving the knee. Consult with Dr Seng if a knee fracture is suspected.

21/10/2025

Tearing of the rotator cuff, whether partial or complete, can stem from a combination of age-related degeneration and repetitive overhead activity.

A torn rotator cuff causes pain, weakness and limited shoulder function, making it difficult for one to perform everyday tasks, such as reaching overhead and lifting objects.

While conservative treatments like physiotherapy and medications can help relieve pain and improve shoulder function, surgical repair of the rotator cuff restores shoulder function and flexibility by reattaching the torn tendon to the bone using sutures or anchors.
