Latest condition guides, surgery education, and recovery resources
Avascular necrosis of the hip is the death of bone tissue in the femoral head caused by disrupted blood supply. Without treatment it progresses to collapse of the joint surface and disabling arthritis, often in adults aged 30–50.
Core decompression is a joint-preserving surgery for early-stage avascular necrosis of the hip. By drilling into the dead bone to relieve pressure and stimulate healing, it aims to prevent femoral head collapse and delay or avoid hip replacement.
MPFL reconstruction recovery takes 5–7 months before return to sports. This guide covers the rehabilitation phases, key milestones, activity restrictions, and what to expect at each stage of recovery.
MPFL reconstruction using allograft tissue restores patellar stability after recurrent dislocations. Learn about surgical candidacy, allograft selection, the step-by-step procedure, risks, and what to expect.
A patellar dislocation occurs when the kneecap shifts out of its groove, almost always tearing the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). Learn about the anatomy, risk factors, diagnosis, and when surgery is needed.
Cervical disc replacement (CDR) is a motion-preserving alternative to spinal fusion for herniated cervical discs. Learn who is a candidate, what happens on surgery day, and how recovery differs from anterior cervical fusion.
For every orthopedic topic, we provide three complementary resources to take you from diagnosis to full recovery.
Understand your diagnosis — anatomy, causes, symptoms, imaging, and both conservative and surgical treatment options.
Know what to expect on surgery day — procedural steps in plain language, anesthesia, risks, and what to bring to the hospital.
Week-by-week recovery timelines, PT milestones, pain management, and when to return to work, sport, or normal activity.
