A different era, the same commitment to care. 🩺

Medicine may have evolved over the years, with better technology, advanced treatments and a deeper understanding of the human body.

But the purpose remains the same helping patients move better, feel better and get back to the things they love.

From the 80s to today, the heart of orthopaedic care remains timeless. ❤️

From starting Silambam at just 4 years old to representing Selangor and becoming a 2024 SUKMA Gold Medalist, Luthrabalan has dedicated his life to the sport he loves. 🥇

But an ACL injury can challenge even the strongest athletes.

For Luthrabalan, surgery was not just about treating an injury, it was about taking the first step towards getting back to the sport, training and competitions that mean so much to him.

He shares his experience of undergoing ACL surgery, his journey so far, and what he is looking forward to once he gets back on his feet.

Because for an athlete, recovery isn’t just about healing.

It’s about getting back to doing what you love. 🏃‍♂️

Wishing Luthrabalan a strong recovery and many more victories ahead. 💙

They once carried you through life. Now, they may need you to help carry them through theirs. ❤️

As our parents grow older, pain can become something they quietly live with a sore knee, a slower walk, or holding onto furniture just to get around.

Don’t wait for them to say they need help. Notice. Ask. Listen.
Because caring for them can begin with simply being there. ❤

Hearing “ligament tear” can be worrying, but surgery isn’t always the first or only option.

The right treatment depends on factors such as the ligament involved, severity of the injury, your activity level, and lifestyle needs. In some cases, rehabilitation, bracing, or other non-surgical approaches may be considered.

If you’re experiencing persistent pain, swelling, or a feeling of instability after an injury, don’t ignore it. An early assessment can help you understand your injury and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

Know your injury. Understand your options. Start your recovery right. 💪🏻

Not every sports injury needs an MRI. An MRI may be recommended when the diagnosis is unclear, a significant injury is suspected, recovery isn’t going as expected, or more information is needed to guide treatment.

If you’ve been injured during sports, don’t self-diagnose. Get assessed first and let the right treatment plan follow.

Somewhere along this journey, I realised that orthopaedics is not just about fixing what hurts.

It’s about helping people get back to who they are. The parent who wants to play with their children, the athlete who wants to return to the sport they love, or simply someone who wants to live without constantly thinking about pain.

Being part of that journey is a responsibility I deeply value. ✨

And that’s what makes this more than a career. It’s a purpose I chose. ❤️

Workout soreness or an actual injury? 🏋️‍♂️

Not every ache after a workout means you’re injured but not every pain should be pushed through either.

💪 Muscle soreness usually develops after exercise, especially after trying a new workout or increasing your intensity, and gradually improves as you recover.

⚠️ Injury pain may happen suddenly during exercise and can come with swelling, weakness, instability, a popping sound, or difficulty moving normally.

If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it just to finish your workout. Giving your body the right attention early can help prevent a minor problem from becoming a bigger one.

Unsure whether your pain is normal soreness or an injury? Speak to an orthopaedic specialist for a proper assessment.

Recovering from a sports injury isn’t just about waiting for the pain to go away. 🏃‍♂️

It’s a step by step process from controlling pain and swelling, to restoring movement, rebuilding strength, and finally returning to activity safely.

Every injury is different, so your recovery timeline may vary. Follow your doctor’s advice and give your body the time it needs to heal.

Robot buat pembedahan lutut sendiri? Ramai yang masih salah faham. 🤔

Sebenarnya, dalam Robotik Total Knee Replacement (TKR), robot tidak menggantikan pakar bedah. Teknologi ini berfungsi sebagai alat bantuan untuk membantu pakar bedah merancang dan melakukan pembedahan dengan lebih tepat berdasarkan anatomi setiap pesakit.

Namun, Robotik TKR bukan pilihan yang sesuai untuk semua orang. Pemilihan rawatan bergantung kepada beberapa faktor seperti tahap arthritis, keadaan lutut, kesihatan keseluruhan dan keperluan setiap individu.

Jika anda mengalami sakit lutut yang semakin mengganggu aktiviti harian seperti berjalan, menaiki tangga atau bersolat, jangan tunggu sehingga ia menjadi lebih teruk. Pemeriksaan awal dapat membantu anda memahami pilihan rawatan yang sesuai mengikut keadaan anda.

📞 Tempah konsultasi untuk penilaian lanjut dan dapatkan nasihat daripada pakar ortopedik.
