  • How long does it take to recover from a knee cartilage operation?

    It depends on the type of "cartilage procedure" you are having. Osteochondral autografts/allograft transplants (OATs) often require less recovery time than a Matrix Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation(MACI), as the cells from the MACI need time to grow. It may also depend on which knee compartment is being done. Your weight-bearing status also will vary. On the short end an OATs procedure done on a femoral condyle, may allow immediate weight-bearing with protection and full release at 6 months. Whereas a MACI procedure to the patella will limit WB for 6-12 weeks and a full return to activities at 9-12months. Your treating surgeon will be able to counsel you on their protocol that is specific to you. READ MORE

  • Can you fully recover from a dislocated elbow?

    It is possible to recover from a dislocated elbow, but it depends on the soft tissue and bony injuries associated with the injury. Most people with a simple elbow dislocation, e.g. no fracture, will lose 10 degrees of extension. Early range of motion exercises may assist in regaining full motion. However, severe injuries that have significant post reduction laxity and associate fractures may require surgical fixation and aggressive therapy to regain a functional range of motion e.g. not full prior dislocation range of motion. A specialist can review your injury, and advanced imaging, to fully determine operative vs. Non-operative couse and potential outcome. READ MORE
