Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in South Africa, and it places high demand on the knees due to sudden pivots and side steps.

Dr Craig Solomon frequently treats ACL injuries caused by quick directional changes. Strengthening your quads and glutes, warming up properly, and avoiding sudden increases in intensity can help reduce your risk.

If your knee feels unstable or swollen after sport, it is worth having it assessed early.

Today is World Cancer Day. While many people think of cancer as an internal disease, cancers can also affect bones and joints. Early diagnosis, imaging, and specialist referral play a crucial role in treatment and recovery.

Orthopaedic surgeons work closely with oncologists and radiologists to preserve movement and quality of life where possible. Awareness and early assessment remain the first step in care.

Recovery from an ACL reconstruction takes time, patience, and teamwork. After surgery, your journey begins with support and guided physiotherapy to help protect the graft and restore gentle movement.

As swelling subsides, youโ€™ll progress to strengthening and balance exercises designed to rebuild stability in your knee. Under Dr Craig Solomonโ€™s care, each recovery plan is personalised, no two patients or injuries are the same.

The goal is always the same though: helping you return safely to sport, work, and everyday life with confidence and strength.

A sudden pop, sharp pain, and swelling after sport could be more than just a sprain, it may be an ๐—”๐—–๐—Ÿ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ท๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐˜†. This ligament is one of the main stabilisers in your knee, and when it tears, it often causes your knee to feel unstable or โ€œgive wayโ€ during movement.

Dr Craig Solomon explains that an ACL injury rarely occurs alone, damage to cartilage or the meniscus is often present too. Diagnosis begins with X-rays and MRI scans to assess the full extent of the injury. Once confirmed, treatment can range from physiotherapy and bracing to ACL reconstruction surgery, depending on your lifestyle and activity goals.

At , every patient receives a tailored recovery plan. Post-surgery rehabilitation focuses on restoring strength, balance, and flexibility, helping athletes and active individuals return safely to the sports and activities they love.

In recent years, ๐—ž๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—”๐—น๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ has transformed the way total knee replacements are performed. Instead of using the traditional โ€œone size fits allโ€ approach, this method focuses on restoring your own natural knee anatomy, the way it was before arthritis or injury changed it.

The goal is to return each patientโ€™s unique alignment and balance by restoring:
- Bone shape and position
- Soft tissue balance
- The natural hipโ€“kneeโ€“ankle relationship

This patient-specific technique allows for a knee that feels more natural, moves more freely, and often leads to higher satisfaction and faster recovery.

Traditional knee replacements had up to a 20% dissatisfaction rate. Kinematic Alignment has changed that, giving patients personalised care and function that feels right for them.

Dr Craig Solomon has extensive experience in this advanced alignment method and continues to refine each procedure with precision and care, helping patients return to pain-free movement and an active life.
