Introduction Post-operative rehabilitation is a critical phase in the recovery process following foot and ankle surgery. Orthotic devices play a vital role in supporting healing,
Introduction Foot and ankle injuries, particularly complex fractures and deformities, pose significant challenges in orthopaedic surgery. Traditional treatments often involve extensive procedures with prolonged recovery
Introduction Tendon injuries, such as Achilles ruptures or chronic tendinopathies, are notoriously slow to heal due to poor vascularity and limited cellular turnover. Traditionally, treatment
Introduction Chronic joint pain, especially in the foot and ankle, is often caused by microfractures and bone marrow lesions (BMLs) beneath the cartilage surface. Historically,
Introduction Articular cartilage injuries can drastically reduce quality of life and often lead to early-onset osteoarthritis. However, regenerative medicine is unlocking innovative ways to repair
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is rapidly gaining recognition as a powerful tool in regenerative and post-operative medicine. In orthopaedics, where recovery can be slow and
Introduction Articular cartilage, the smooth tissue covering the ends of bones in joints, plays a crucial role in facilitating smooth and pain-free movement. Understanding the
Introduction In the realm of orthopaedics, addressing conditions such as degenerative joint disease, post-traumatic arthritis, deformities, and non-unions with significant bone loss necessitates advanced surgical
Introduction Distraction arthroplasty is emerging as a groundbreaking technique in joint preservation. For patients suffering from conditions such as osteoarthritis, this technique offers an alternative
Introduction Regenerative medicine is reshaping the landscape of orthopaedics, offering patients new hope for healing and recovery. From stem cell therapies to advanced surgical techniques,
Dr Gordon Slater is a highly-skilled surgeon specialising in foot and ankle conditions and sports injuries. Dr Slater is one of the first foot and ankle surgeons in Australia to adopt minimally invasive surgical techniques. He routinely uses MIS to treat a range of conditions, including bunions. MIS has many advantages including shorter operating times, reduced post-operative pain, reduced risk of infection, minimal scarring and better cosmetic outcomes.
