#MeniscusRepair failure: clinical takeaways for revision
1. Biology before technique: Poor vascularity is primary obstacle
2. Patient compliance: Activity dialogue is vital
3. Don't rush: Premature stress causes failure
4. Audit: Refine fixation methods

#ShoulderDislocations and subluxations are debilitating, often causing pain, swelling, and decreased mobility. If left untreated, they can lead to worsening joint health.
All dislocations must be reduced, and imaged, for recovery. Full insight: medilink.us/uo8s

Pain, swelling, and a shoulder that feels like it is giving out are common symptoms of instability. If your range of motion is decreasing or you are dealing with recurrent dislocations, get the facts on your next steps. Full details: medilink.us/efuj #shoulderpain

#Shoulder #arthroplasty can fail due to poor rehab compliance, muscle weakness, scar tissue, or new trauma. However, surgeon experience is the biggest variable. If your replacement has failed, revision surgery can restore function. Learn more ➡️ medilink.us/vak8

Recovery after #multiligament #kneereconstruction is a journey. It requires a strict rehabilitation program, the use of a brace, cryotherapy & crutches for first 4, 6 weeks. Most patients regain range of motion by week 12, w/full recovery in 8, 12 months. medilink.us/g0mk

ICYMI! Physicians, the "silent professional" model is now a liability. In a landscape of legal teams & digital scrutiny, you need representation. Whether you're negotiating contracts or managing your brand, don’t do it alone. It’s time to level the field: medilink.us/qsj5

Sometimes you have to compare your orthopedic team to fighting mongooses! We love seeing patients recover and regain their sense of humor.

#ACL injuries often require surgery because the ligament lacks the blood supply to heal naturally. Dr. Provencher explains why many active patients opt for reconstruction to regain full function & return to their favorite activities. Read the full insight: medilink.us/wl19

Suspect a #tibialplateau #fracture?
Do not wait. Significant swelling can lead to serious complications. From bracing, to surgical stabilization with rods and plates, expert care is the best way to protect your long term knee health. Full details here: medilink.us/v30g

A #tibialplateau #fracture is not always obvious at first glance. Symptoms may include:
• Pain below knee after trauma
• Swelling stiffness
• Difficulty walking
• Possible neurovascular concern in severe injuries
Early imaging matters. medilink.us/l9e0

Why do athletes redislocate after a “successful” #Bankart repair? Anatomy can be restored, but elite sport demands more. Contact overhead loads can expose subtle residual instability. True success = labrum capsule bone neuromuscular control. medilink.us/qat5

If you’re undergoing #meniscustransplantation, expect a phased recovery:
• Early protection (brace ~6 weeks)
• Controlled weight bearing
• Progressive strengthening
• Sport-specific return only when cleared
There are no shortcuts through biology. medilink.us/wdqh

#Frozenshoulder has 3 phases:
🔹 Freezing → pain stiffness
🔹 Frozen → stiffness without much pain
🔹 Thawing → slow return of motion
It can take up to 2 years, but it does improve. Learn more 👉 medilink.us/8bjc #shoulderpain #shoulderinjury #sportsmedicine

The military taught Dr. Provencher that leadership is service.
Medicine reinforced it.
This #MemorialDay, he honors the men & women who embodied both and made the ultimate sacrifice for others. Their courage continues to inspire his leadership, his care for patients & his life.

#Cartilage loss isn’t binary, it’s time-dependent biology. Early injury is a window to stabilize progression, restore load distribution/delay degeneration. Miss that window & treatment shifts from restoration → compensation → replacement. Timing matters. medilink.us/tqxt

40 years of physical labor. Two #rotatorcuff tears. One failed repair.
Told nothing more could be done...twice.
A second opinion changed the trajectory.
Revision arthroscopic repair rehab restored full range of motion. medilink.us/xygf #patientstory

Why does #ACLinjury change how an athlete moves? Dr. Provencher explains the ligament’s stabilizing role and walks through what happens after functional instability is diagnosed including key principles guiding treatment and rehab progression. medilink.us/ze6m #kneeinjury

Dr Provencher would like to congratulate his co-authors for their fantastic work on this study: Ivan Wong, Marco Adriani, Sarah Remedios, Phob Ganokroj, Nate Dickinson, Annalise Peebles, Ryan Whalen, Stephanie Eble, Justin Arner, Toufic Jildeh, Liam Peebles, and Anthony Romeo!
