When hallux valgus recurs years after surgery, a different surgical approach is needed if the underlying cause differs from the original case. This article explains the criteria for deciding on revision surgery by reassessing the deformity angle and joint condition to change the osteotomy site.
2For lumbar disc herniation with leg tingling and pulling that has lasted for months, the choice between uniportal and biportal endoscopic surgery depends on the extent of nerve compression and spinal stability. Dr. Chang-Hee Cho of Seoul One Hospital explains how he decides the surgical approach based on MRI findings and response to non-surgical treatment.
3Repeated looseness after a shoulder dislocation during tennis may signal recurrent instability. A board-certified orthopedic surgeon explains how age, recurrence frequency, and the presence of a Hill-Sachs lesion determine the timing of surgery.
4If you've had knee injections for over 10 years and your pain has recently worsened, you need to look at both your cartilage loss stage and your response to conservative treatment together.
