What are the symptoms of #frozenshoulder? #AdhesiveCapsulitis unfolds in three distinct stages: Freezing (stiffness and pain), Frozen (persistent stiffness, lessening pain), and Thawing (gradual return of motion over time). Learn more ➡️ medilink.us/xkp4 #shoulderpain

“Nothing can be done.” After a failed #rotatorcuff repair, Keith heard those words, but he did not stop looking for answers. At 64, a revision repair gave him full motion and his active life back. Sometimes hope starts with a #secondopinion. medilink.us/m5ab #patientcare
Common signs a #shoulderstabilization may need a check-up: ongoing pain, instability or slipping, recurring dislocations, weakness, and difficulty with overhead tasks. Every recovery is unique so don't hesitate to check in with your care team! medilink.us/d0y8
Excellent patient care goes far beyond the operating room. This #PAWeek, we celebrate the clinical partnership, trust & expertise that Jasmin Schmitz, Tess Holbrook & Ali Bakowski bring to our patients every day. Thanks for being exceptional team members! medilink.us/sl5u
Torn MCL? Surgery may not be necessary. The #MCL can often heal with nonsurgical treatment. But if the knee remains unstable or other ligaments are injured, surgery may be considered. The MRI is only part of the picture. medilink.us/gtkz #KneeInjury #KneePain
From surgery to full recovery: #ACLeconstruction involves a knee brace, crutches & dedicated #physicaltherapy. Partnering with sports medicine experts helps most patients get back to athletic activities in 6-9 months. medilink.us/yc99 #ACL #kneesurgery #kneereconstrution
#TBT - Dr. Provencher joins the Nailed It Ortho Podcast to break down recurrent anterior #shoulderinstability. From physical exam red flags and glenoid track assessment to distal tibia allografts, don't miss this deep dive. 🎙️ Listen now 👉 medilink.us/szpt #medtwitter
After #shoulderstabilization surgery, recovery is a process. Expect 3–6 weeks of immobilization, followed by rehab to restore motion and strength. Most patients return to daily activities in 4–6 months, with improvement continuing for a year or more. medilink.us/s9ll
#ACL injuries can range from a sprain to a partial or complete tear. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, limited motion and instability. Some patients also feel or hear a “pop” when the injury occurs. Knowing the extent of the injury matters. medilink.us/bhxc #kneeinjury
#Rotatorcuff repairs can restore shoulder function, but some tendons re-tear after surgery. Revision repair can address recurrent tears and help restore strength and stability. When possible, arthroscopic surgery may mean less pain and a quicker recovery. medilink.us/6g1e
