The biggest myth about orthopaedics >> You don’t have to be big or strong to be an orthopaedic surgeon. It’s not about force, it’s about finesse. Let’s bust these stereotypes and open the door to everyone. 👊🏼💥 #Orthopaedics #DiversityInMedicine #MedicalStudents #Surgery

Meniscus tears are the most common structural knee injury we treat — more frequent than ACL or cartilage injuries. We explain what they are and the 5 key things they do >> #KneeInjury #Meniscus #SportsMedicine #Physio #Orthopaedics

ACL tears can happen to anyone, from weekend warriors to elite pros. In this short video I touch on how prehab before ACL surgery can help mitigate the inevitable post-op muscle loss & more. But for professionals, thorough prehab is often impossible. #SportsMedicine #ACL #Knee

Some meniscus tears heal. Most don’t. It all depends on where the tear is & its blood supply. I explain more in this short video 👇🏼 #Meniscus #KneeInjury #SportsMedicine #Orthopaedics #Surgery #Rehab #MeniscusTear #SurgicalEducation

Ever wondered what actually happens during a meniscus repair? Meniscus preservation is one of the most important concepts in sports knee surgery. Here’s a 46s orthohub.xyz video explainer. Save the meniscus, save the world. #Meniscus #KneeInjury #SportsInjury #Orthopaedics

Think you’ve torn your meniscus? 🦵🏼 👉🏼 Here’s how I figure it out every week in clinic. MRI can help, but often the clearest answers come from a specialist assessment. 📍 Save this for reference ⏩️ Share it with someone who’s had unexplained knee pain #MeniscusTear #Knee

Should you have surgery for a meniscus tear? Not every meniscus tear needs surgery, many can settle with rehab + time. But 3 tear types usually need urgent surgery (bucket-handle, full-thickness radial, root tears) as delay decreases the likelihood of a successful repair.

My actual presentation time for a 20 minute talk on managing cartilage defects in elite athletes at Sports Medicine Conference 2025. Having chaired sessions and organised courses and conferences myself, I think keeping to time is the greatest respect you can show to your peers and delegates

Spoke at Sports Medicine Conference 2025 2025 at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. I presented on cartilage treatments in elite athletes, alongside Tim Spalding on meniscus transplantation - together exploring the concept of “biological knee replacement”. Elite athlete care is always a team effort🤝🏼

A bucket handle meniscus tear can jam your knee, stop you straightening it — and if you wait too long, it may not be repairable. That’s why I always say: catch it early, protect the knee joint and save the meniscus wherever possible. 🎥 More in this @orthohubxyz explainer video

Tyreek Hill suffered a devastating knee dislocation with multiple ligament tears — including his ACL. Here’s what that actually means and why it’s one of the most complex injuries in sport for an elite athlete. #TyreekHill #NFL #SportsMedicine #KneeInjury #Orthopaedics
