When should you consider a knee replacement?

Sometimes the answer isn't "right now." In this visit, we discussed the patient's arthritis, tried a less-invasive treatment first, and talked honestly about what may come next.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A “POPEYE DEFORMITY”? 💪

It may sound unusual, but this noticeable change in the appearance of the upper arm can be a sign of a proximal biceps tendon rupture.
In this video, Dr. Paul Ghattas explains how a torn biceps tendon can retract and create a distinct change in the contour of the upper arm, sometimes referred to as a “reverse Popeye deformity.”

Watch the video to learn what causes this condition, what it can look like, and how it can be associated with other shoulder problems.

Could you imagine trying to sleep with knees this painful?

These X-rays show severe, bone-on-bone osteoarthritis affecting both knees. When arthritis reaches this stage, knee replacement may offer an opportunity to restore mobility and reclaim everyday life.

Watch the video to see what I’m seeing in these X-rays.

When we talk about “quad tendon ruptures,” most people picture a complete tear at the top of the kneecap — usually from a forceful eccentric load like a heavy landing or a rapid deceleration. But this one is different.

This is a re**us femoris rupture at the musculotendinous junction — the zone where muscle fibers hand off to tendon. It’s a region built for force transfer, and it’s a classic failure point during explosive activity: sprinting, kicking, a sudden eccentric load when the muscle is firing hard while being stretched.

Why it matters:

▪️The re**us femoris is the only quad muscle that crosses both the hip and the knee, so it lives under high strain.
▪️Injuries here behave differently than a distal quad tendon tear at the patella — the presentation, the imaging, and the treatment conversation all shift.
▪️Many of these are managed without surgery, but the decision depends on the degree of retraction, the athlete’s demands, and how the tissue is healing — which is exactly why accurate diagnosis and imaging matter.

Educational content — not medical advice. Every injury is individual.

Why are more patients choosing the anterior approach for hip replacement?

In this video, I explain why anterior hip replacement has become my preferred approach for many patients, including its benefits for recovery, reduced blood loss, lower risk of dislocation, and getting patients up and walking just hours after surgery.

Watch the video to learn why this approach is helping patients get back to life sooner.

This summer, we had the pleasure of welcoming Michelle as an intern with Dr. Dold at Star Orthopedics. Michelle is a rising senior at Harvard University studying biomedical engineering with a secondary in chemistry. Her experience working with Dr. Dold has strengthened her interest in orthopedics, and she plans to attend medical school after taking a gap year post-graduation.

We truly enjoyed having Michelle as part of the Star Orthopedics team and look forward to seeing what she does next! Will she come back to work at Star Orthopedics as our next Harvard trained Orthopedic surgeon?!?! We shall see…😄🎉
