Attended the last day of Comic Con in Jhb today. What fun!! I have a four day orthopaedic congress starting tomorrow - hope I can get this green stuff out of my hair and the tats off my face 🤣🤞🏻

This poor lady woke up one morning and could barely walk because of pain in her knee. The cause? A medial meniscus tear.

The meniscus is an important cartilage structure that provides support in the knee. This video shows an arthroscopic view of a torn meniscus: a torn piece of the meniscus has flipped backwards and has become “stuck” in the back of the knee resulting in pain and swelling. A metal probe is seen here to retrieve the degenerative medical tissue from the back of the knee for subsequent removal.

This patient will be fully weight bearing on the day of surgery, will not need crutches or a brace, and will go home on the same day. 💪🏻

Impromptu lunch with mom, boss and sister

I was left speechless and filled with emotion at the most thoughtful early birthday gift inreceived from my very good friend, , musical director of the world famous Ndlovu Youth Choir.

Ralf secreted away my beloved stethoscope to his bead whisperer in Limpopo, gogo Sara Masango, responsible for all the Choir’s beadwork, for a stethoscope makeover…Ndlovu style!!! And what a beautiful job she did - like the Bible’s Joseph and his coat of many colours, my beautiful stethoscope is the now the envy of all his jealous brothers!!!

One of the most exciting days in a 4th year medical student’s life is the day he or she gets his stethoscope. We could not afford the more fancy Littmann Cardiology, and I am deeply ashamed to tell you that when I was gifted the cheaper alternative by my parents, I refused to even take it out the box.

My burgundy Littmann Classic II has since borne the stains of the blood from gunshot victims at Baragwanath Hospital’s Surgical “pit” and Joburg Gen’s area 163. It has clung to my neck in the corridors of Tygerberg and Sebokeng Hospitals. It has wandered the lonely corridors with me at 3 am in Bath’s Royal United Hospital in England and the Royal Gwent hospital in Wales. We have travelled a long road together.

It now rests in grateful retirement in my rooms - orthopaedic surgeons rarely use stethoscopes - and when I look at it I am reminded of the incredible sacrifices my parents made to put me through medical school and I wish I had expressed my gratitude to them properly at the time. As a parent myself now, I understand, and I work not for myself, but to help my kids have the best future possible.

Love you mom and dad ❤️

Ps - in case you are wondering, the number “4067” is my race number with which I have completed six Comrades Marathons 🥲

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

21 km trail run in Hartbeespoort this weekend! 🌧️🌧️🌧️
I believe regular exercise is so important. At the age of 65 my grandmother started walking 10 km every day.
She’s now 92 and nobody has a clue where she is 💀
Happy Wednesday!

I received this email from a patient yesterday who had a repair of a large displaced bucket-handle meniscus tear in his knee a few months ago. It really made my day and we love hearing good news from our patients - don’t forget to write!

“Hi,

Please can you show Dr Matthee these pics from last Saturday — I am climbing better than ever and I don’t think about my knee anymore, it’s doing great

Thank-you Dr!!!

Regards
M”

This patient presented with an Achilles tendon rupture. Unfortunately treatment was delayed due to a delay in the diagnosis, and indecision on the part of the patient. Achilles tendon ruptures can be treated both non-surgically and surgically, and there are a variety of operative techniques. There may be debate as to the correct treatment method, but there is one thing we all agree on: the BEST TREATMENT is EARLY TREATMENT. If you think you may have injured your Achilles tendon, get it checked out ASAP 💪🏻

Happiness is… how awesome is the smile on this patient who gave me permission to post this video of her progress, 7 months after ACL reconstruction. Which knee had surgery? Well done to her and the tremendous work by our physio 👊🏻💪🏻
