Patient Education

KNEE PAIN

Common Causes Knee pain usually results from overuse, poor form during physical activity, not warming up or cooling down, or inadequate stretching. Simple causes of knee pain often clear up on their own with self care. Being overweight can put you at greater risk for knee problems.

Knee pain can be caused by:

Arthritis — including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and gout.

Baker’s cyst — a fluid-filled swelling behind the knee that may accompany inflammation from other causes, like arthritis .

Bursitis — inflammation from repeated pressure on the knee, such as kneeling for long periods of time, overuse, or injury Connective tissue disorders such as lupus.

Dislocation of the kneecap
Iliotibial band syndrome — a hip disorder related to injury of the thick band that runs from your hip to the outside of your knee.

Infection in the joint Knee injuries— an anterior cruciate ligament injury or medial collateral ligament injury may cause bleeding into your knee, which makes the pain worse.

Tendinitis — a pain in the front of your knee that gets worse when going up and down stairs or inclines.

Torn cartilage (a meniscus tear) — pain felt on the inside or outside of the knee joint.

Torn ligament (ACL tear) — leads to pain and instability of the knee.

Strain or sprain — minor injuries to the ligaments caused by sudden or unnatural twisting.

Less common conditions that can lead to knee pain include the following:

Bone tumors
Osgood-Schlatter disease.

When To See Doctor :

You cannot bear weight on your knee.
You have severe pain, even when not bearing weight.

SHOULDER PAIN

Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which an arthroscope is inserted into a joint. Arthroscopy is a term that comes from two Greek words, arthro-, meaning joint, and -skopein, meaning to examine. The benefits of arthroscopy involve smaller incisions, faster healing, a more rapid recovery, and less scarring. Arthroscopic surgical procedures are often performed on an outpatient basis and the patient is able to return home on the same day.

Knee arthroscopy

Knee arthroscopy involves the use of specialised instruments to look inside the knee through small incisions over the skin.

The knee is a complex joint consisting of numerous ligaments which hold the joint together, and cartilage which reduces friction at the joint surface.

Injury to any of the structures within the knee can necessitate a knee arthroscopy

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tear
Medial meniscus tear
Lateral meniscus tear
Repair of meniscus
Meniscectomy
Chondromalacia patellae
Foreign body removal
Synovectomy

FRACTURES

What is a Bone fracture?

Fracture is a break in the continuity of a bone. It can be a “undisplaced (Hairline)” when the broken pieces have not moved from their normal position and still are in contact or it can be a “displaced” when the broken bone pieces have moved away from their normal position in the body.

What are the types of fracture?

Fractures are divided into different types according to

Location of fracture or the bone involved eg, wrist, spine, tibia etc.
Shape of Fracture.
Cause of fracture like due to trauma or due to previous disease in bone (Pathological Fracture)

When does a fracture require Surgery?

A fracture generally requires surgery when it is a displaced fracture and if the bones are left in displaced position, either the bones may not unite at all or will unite in abnormal position.

Testimonies

“I have received excellent medical advice and treatment from Dr Dayo Osholowu & Dr Sunday Salami for many years. He is very knowledgeable, caring and professional. I have always felt safe in his care and he has been a real find for me as a very active executive. I always have no hesitation recommending the EHS Sports Medicine Clinic to anyone who needs medical attention and treatment”.

“When I realised the severity of the damage to my knee,I was able to make the decision ro come to EHS sport medicine clinic. Dr Dayo and Dr salami's professional focus in sport injury management also gave me a further confidence to work with them. They guided me and we made the decision about the athroscopic surgery. This went a long way to allay my fears pre,during and post surgery. Post surgery, I commenced my rehabilitation service and I am much better. My knee is now stable and I no longer experience discomfort while sleeping. Above all, I would recommend the EHS sport medicine clinic to anyone”.

“I want to appreciate you especially for the time and care given to me before, during and after the procedure. The personalized service was and is exemplary. We need more people like you. Its been 2 weeks after my arthroscopic meniscectomy and I am gradually getting back to my usual self. God bless”.

Today Thomas Acheneje aka Finidi remain thankful and indebted to immensely. If not for him a flourishing and promising football career would have ended abruptly. Sunday Onimisi came and asked to be given a chance. while others had doubt in his ability... we stuck by him and believed in his credentials, and today a once nagging and threatening meniscus knee injury was SUCCESSFULLY operated. Whenever I see him play my joy knows no bound. Today I want to remember you fondly and say a big thank you once more. You are a life saver.
