This patient was facing a total hip replacement at just 18 years old! 👀

His pain level was a 10/10. After evaluation by Dr. Bramlett, he was diagnosed with AVN or Avascular Necrosis.
Dr. Bramlett was able to put a titanium rod in his hip and his pain level was reduced to a 1/10!!! He was able to recover by using a bike, lost weight and was able to get a job!

⚾ Baseball & Rotator Cuff Injuries

Rotator cuff injuries are one of the most common shoulder problems in baseball, especially for pitchers. The repetitive, high-speed overhead motion puts serious stress on the shoulder.

Here’s what we see:

• Rotator Cuff injuries make up 20–50% of all shoulder injuries in baseball
• Pitchers account for nearly 80% of shoulder-related issues
• In college players, almost 46% of shoulder injuries involve the rotator cuff
• Even older athletes show a 26% tear rate—many without symptoms

👉 Why it happens
Most injuries aren’t from one big moment. They’re caused by repetitive throwing—especially during the deceleration phase of a pitch. What starts as tendinitis can progress to a tear if ignored.

"Damage” doesn’t always mean pain. Studies show 40–80% of pro pitchers, may have rotator cuff changes without symptoms.

👉 The impact
Rotator cuff tears can be season-ending and often require months of rehab—or even surgery.

If your shoulder feels off, don’t push through it. Get checked before it sidelines you.

Even the best aren’t immune to knee injuries. Stephen Curry has dealt with knee issues during his career due to the constant jumping, cutting, and the quick direction changes basketball demands.

Those repetitive, high-impact movements put serious stress on the knee, making injuries like ACL sprains, meniscus tears, and patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee) some of the most common issues we see in basketball players at every level.

Prevention tip:
Build strong support around the knee. Strengthening your quads, hamstrings, and glutes, while focusing on proper landing mechanics can help reduce injury risk.

If your knee pain is lingering or changing how you play, don’t push through it. Get checked before it sidelines you.

Healthy Joints Are Dr. Bramlett’s Love Language ❤️

Movement matters at every stage of life, and joint health plays a big role in how we stay active, independent, and comfortable over time. This Valentine’s Day is a reminder to appreciate the joints that support you through every step, lift, and bend.

Because taking care of your joints is a lifelong act of self-care.

Not all pain comes from injuries.

Not every ache starts with a fall, twist, or accident. Many joint issues develop slowly over time.

Wear and tear pain builds from repeated use, aging cartilage, arthritis, or alignment changes. It often starts as stiffness, soreness, or pain that worsens with activity or at the end of the day.

Injury-related pain happens suddenly. Think sprains, tears, or fractures. This pain is usually sharp, immediate, and tied to a specific moment or movement.

Both types of pain deserve attention. If discomfort is lingering, limiting your movement, or affecting your daily life, it is time to get it checked.

If your knee or shoulder is doing any of these, it may be time to get it checked.

• Pain that lasts more than a couple of weeks
• Pain that keeps coming back even after rest
• Trouble lifting your arm or bending your knee
• Weakness during everyday movements
• Clicking popping or grinding in the joint
• A feeling like the joint might give out

These signs are often your body’s early warning system. Getting evaluated sooner can help prevent bigger issues down the road.

What Is Plica Syndrome of the Knee?

Plica syndrome happens when a small fold of tissue inside the knee called the plica becomes irritated or inflamed. This tissue is normal, but overuse, repetitive motion, or direct injury can cause it to rub against the knee joint and trigger pain.

Common signs include
• Pain at the front or inside of the knee
• Clicking or catching with movement
• Swelling or stiffness after activity
• Pain when squatting, climbing stairs, or standing up after sitting

The good news is that many cases improve with conservative care like activity modification, physical therapy, and anti inflammatory treatment. If symptoms persist, advanced imaging and targeted treatment options may be recommended.

If knee pain is slowing you down, do not ignore it. Getting the right diagnosis early can help you get back to moving comfortably.
