Introduction Sports-related concussions (SRCs) are a prevalent concern in athletic communities, often leading to prolonged recovery periods and potential long-term cognitive effects. Traditional management strategies
Introduction Pilon fractures, involving the distal tibia, are complex injuries often resulting from high-energy trauma. Traditional open surgical methods can lead to complications such as
Treating Kohler’s disease with regenerative distraction arthroplasty presents a promising advancement in orthopaedics. Kohler’s disease, a rare osteochondrosis of the navicular bone, predominantly affects children
Introduction Aging is an inevitable biological process marked by cellular degeneration, chronic inflammation, and reduced regenerative capacity. While cosmetic treatments offer surface-level solutions, scientists and
Introduction Chronic osteomyelitis represents a persistent and debilitating condition within orthopaedic care. While the bone has unique anatomical and vascular characteristics, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has
Introduction The synovial environment plays a central role in joint health. In regenerative orthopaedics, a growing body of evidence highlights that cartilage repair and preservation
Introduction Regenerative therapies are expanding the possibilities in orthopaedic care, particularly for patients with cartilage and tendon degeneration. However, clinical outcomes depend not only on
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
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.
