Today is Osteonecrosis Awareness Day.

Osteonecrosis (also known as avascular necrosis) occurs when reduced blood flow to a bone causes tissue to weaken and break down, most often in the hip, knee, or shoulder.

Early diagnosis is essential. When caught early, treatment can protect the joint and prevent long-term damage.

If you’re experiencing persistent joint pain or stiffness, make an appointment with one of our specialists at columbiaortho.org or call 305-212-4565.

While rule changes and technique improvements have decreased concussion incidence, it still remains prevalent throughout sports and the general population. Staying aware of the signs and recovery steps is still essential, especially during fall sports season. 🏈

Common football injuries today include ACL and meniscus tears, shoulder injuries, and ankle sprains.

Dr. Goldwaser’s advice:

• For young athletes: “Learn proper form and tackling techniques early. Playing smart helps prevent injuries long-term.”

• For adults: “Stay flexible! Regular stretching or yoga can help prevent common strains and sprains.”

Safe habits, smart recovery, and consistent flexibility training go a long way toward keeping athletes of all ages in the game.

Diabetes doesn’t just affect blood sugar; it can also impact your bones, joints, and recovery after injury. 🦴

Over time, high blood sugar can weaken bones and reduce circulation, increasing the risk of fractures, stiffness, and slow-healing wounds.

With the right care and prevention, you can protect your mobility and stay active!

If you’re managing diabetes and notice pain, swelling, or slow-healing injuries, make an appointment with one of our foot and ankle specialists at columbiaortho.org or call 305-212-4565.
