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
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,
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
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.
Dr. Gordon Slater is an orthopaedic surgeon specialising in foot and ankle conditions and sports injuries. He was among the first surgeons in Australia to adopt minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques for foot and ankle procedures. Dr. Slater uses MIS to treat a range of conditions, including bunions. These techniques may support shorter operating times, reduced post-operative discomfort, and smaller scars compared with traditional approaches.
Procedures carry risks. Individual
outcomes vary depending on each patient’s condition. Please discuss with Dr.
Slater whether a particular treatment is appropriate for you.
