🦶🏻 Foot and ankle fractures are prevalent among athletes and can significantly impact performance and recovery.

Recognising the signs of foot and ankle fractures in athletes is crucial for recovery:

😫 Immediate and intense pain
😫 Swelling and bruising
😫 Visible misalignment or deformity
😫 Difficulty in movement

Treatment for sports-related foot and ankle fractures varies based on the severity and type of injury.

➡️ Minor fractures may be treated with immobilisation using a cast, brace or walking boot. However, severe fractures or those involving significant displacement may require surgical repair.

Prompt medical attention and adherence to rehabilitation protocols are crucial for successful recovery from these injuries.

📱 If you know anyone who needs a second opinion for their foot and ankle injury, you may contact our team and we can help you find the right orthopaedic for your special needs.

😫 Pain can be frustrating, especially when it involves your bones, joints and muscles.

But fret not! Orthopaedic clinics offer comprehensive treatments to address your specific needs and restore your quality of life, free from pain.

There are 3️⃣ main types of diabetes you need to know about.

🔘 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟭 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀:

This type is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. It is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

🔘 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟮 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀:

This is the most common type of diabetes and generally develops in adults over the age of 45. It occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin.

🔘 𝗚𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀:

This type occurs during pregnancy and typically goes away after childbirth. However, it increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life for both the mother and the child.

🫀 Arrhythmia is a common heart condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

It occurs when the heart's rhythm becomes irregular, either beating too fast, too slow, or erratic. There are several types of arrhythmia and understanding each is crucial for managing them effectively and maintaining heart health.

1️⃣ 𝗔𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 causes rapid and irregular beating of the atria (upper chambers of the heart).

2️⃣ 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘆𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗮 occurs when the heart beats too slowly, usually fewer than 60 beats per minute.

3️⃣ 𝗧𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘆𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗮 is characterised by a rapid heartbeat and can occur in the atria (atrial tachycardia) or the ventricles (ventricular tachycardia).

4️⃣ 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗙𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is a life-threatening arrhythmia. It causes chaotic, rapid beating of the ventricles (the heart's lower chambers), leading to sudden cardiac arrest.

It is commonly used to diagnose and evaluate a range of conditions such as acid reflux, ulcers, gastritis and even certain types of cancer, including stomach cancer.

One of the primary benefits of gastroscopy is its ability to detect abnormalities in the upper digestive system at an early stage, often before symptoms manifest.
