Activity limits, medications, and proper wound care are key to healing safely. Doing too much too soon can set back your progress or cause complications. Take care of yourself and stay on the road to recovery.

Partial knee replacement, also called unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, replaces only the damaged portion of the knee joint with prosthetic components.

It may be an option when osteoarthritis or pain affects just one compartment of the knee and can offer a quicker recovery compared to total knee replacement for the right candidate.

If knee pain is limiting your daily activities, request an appointment at https://gardnerorthopedics.com to discuss personalized treatment options.

This procedure replaces the damaged knee joint with a durable prosthesis made of advanced plastic or ceramic components, using the latest safe and effective surgical techniques to restore stability and movement.

Dr. Ronald Gardner was in New Orleans attending the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual Meeting with Dr. Luciano Ramires, the current Ortho Florida Adult Reconstruction Fellow with us at Gardner Orthopedics.

The meeting brings together orthopedic surgeons from across the country to learn about the latest research, see new technology, and connect with colleagues in the field. It’s always a great opportunity to bring back new ideas that can help improve patient care here at home.

Dr. Gardner also enjoys sharing experiences like this with the next generation of surgeons through the Ortho Florida Adult Reconstruction Fellowship.

Pickleball season is here, and while it is a great way to stay active, it demands quick side to side movements, sprints, pivots, and backpedaling that can strain joints and muscles.

Protect yourself with these essentials:
• Warm up before every match
• Stay hydrated
• Use proper body mechanics
• Strengthen your core and lower body
• Stretch after playing
• Listen to pain signals early
• Choose proper footwear with a lower heel profile, wide stable base, firm upper material, and durable sole

If pain is already affecting your game, request an appointment at https://gardnerorthopedics.com for personalized orthopedic care.
