Testing New Technology!

We recently had the opportunity to evaluate new surgical technology that could potentially improve outcomes for our patients. While originally designed for meniscal root repairs, we’re also exploring how this innovation might be adapted for ACL fixation.

We’re constantly testing and refining our approach with one goal in mind: delivering the best possible outcomes for the patients who trust us with their care.

The future of orthopedic surgery depends on this continuous evolution - always challenging what we know and how we approach patient care.

Runner’s knee happens when the cartilage under your kneecap softens or wears down, causing friction and irritation between your kneecap and thigh bone. While common in runners, it can affect anyone who stresses their knees with repetitive activities.

Common signs include:
✅ Dull, aching pain in front of the knee
✅ Grinding or “grating” sensations when bending
✅ Discomfort going up/down stairs or after sitting
✅ Pain during squats or kneeling

What helps?
💪 Rest and ice after activity
💪 Ease up on high-impact workouts
💪 Strengthening & stretching exercises
💪 Physical therapy to improve knee tracking
💪 Supportive shoes or bracing when appropriate

In many cases, symptoms improve with conservative care — but if pain persists, a specialist can help tailor your treatment plan.

💪 Regain Your Shoulder Strength with Expert Care! 💪

If shoulder pain or a rotator cuff tear is slowing you down, it might be time to consider the difference that expert surgical care can make. Dr. Jonathan Glashow, a top-rated orthopedic surgeon specializing in shoulder injuries, offers advanced rotator cuff repair surgery designed to restore strength, reduce pain, and help you get back to the activities you love.

The rotator cuff is a group of tendons that keeps your shoulder stable and active. Tears can cause pain, weakness, and loss of motion. When nonsurgical treatment isn’t enough, surgical repair can reduce pain and improve shoulder function.

Yes or No: Bone Density Edition 🦴

The key insight: your bones respond to mechanical stress and impact loading. Without these forces, even the best exercises won’t stimulate the bone formation you’re looking for. It’s not just about moving your body - it’s about how you move it.

As we age, bone density becomes increasingly important for preventing fractures and maintaining independence. The good news? The right types of exercise can significantly impact your bone health at any stage of life. 💪

Important disclaimer: If you’re new to impact exercises or higher-intensity movements, work with a trained professional to ensure proper form and progression. Starting safely is key to getting the true benefits without risking injury.

🦵 Tuesday Tip: What Is Osteonecrosis of the Knee? 👣

Osteonecrosis (also called avascular necrosis) of the knee happens when part of the bone loses its blood supply, causing that bone tissue to start dying because it can’t get the nutrients it needs. Bone needs a healthy blood flow just like every other part of your body — without it, the bone can weaken, collapse, and eventually lead to arthritis if it’s not treated.

📍 Common signs to watch for:
• Pain on the inside of the knee that gets worse with activity
• Knee swelling or tenderness
• Pain at night or with movement
• Stiffness or limited range of motion
These symptoms tend to slowly get worse over time.
