Thinking about getting back into running?

Whether you're training for your first 5K or returning after time away, one of the biggest mistakes runners make is doing too much, too soon.

According to sports medicine experts, nearly half of runners experience an injury each year that sidelines them from activity. The good news? Many of these injuries are preventable.

Before you lace up:
✔ Increase mileage gradually
✔ Prioritize strength training
✔ Get adequate sleep and recovery
✔ Fuel your body properly
✔ Replace worn-out running shoes

A smart training plan doesn't just help you run farther—it helps you stay healthy enough to keep running.

If joint pain, knee pain, hip pain, or a sports injury is slowing you down, the specialists at Greater Orlando Orthopedic Group can help you stay active and moving safely.

Former professional athlete Randy Myers wasn’t willing to settle when it came to knee replacement surgery.

After years of motocross racing, professional water skiing, long-distance running, and living an active lifestyle, chronic knee pain was slowing him down. That’s when he turned to Dr. Ron Hudanich and the BackInAction™ Knee Muscle-Sparing Approach with Mako SmartRobotics™.

Today, at 73, Randy is back to doing what he loves — from yard work and climbing ladders to water skiing again.

“It’s like a masterpiece… He changed my life.”

Read Randy’s full story and see why so many active patients trust Dr. Hudanich for advanced joint replacement care.

Your phone might be causing more damage than you think.

All that scrolling, texting, and tapping puts constant strain on your hands and wrists—leading to pain, weakness, and even conditions like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome over time.

If your thumb aches or your fingers tingle, don’t ignore it. Those are early warning signs.

Small changes now can prevent bigger problems later.

Protein is having a moment—but more isn’t always better.

Guidance from the American Medical Association makes it clear: most people are already getting enough protein, and overdoing it won’t automatically build more muscle.

What actually matters?
✔ Getting the right amount for your body
✔ Prioritizing high-quality sources
✔ Keeping your nutrition balanced—especially during recovery

If something feels off—strength, energy, recovery—it might be time to look beyond the gym.

Featured AAOS Candidate Member Brian I. Nwannunu recently shared important insights on the growing connection between weight loss medications and musculoskeletal care.

One major takeaway: weight loss alone isn’t enough. Protecting muscle mass, maintaining bone health, prioritizing protein intake, and incorporating resistance training are all critical — especially for adults trying to reduce joint pain and avoid future orthopedic complications.

As orthopedic specialists, we know successful long-term outcomes come from treating the whole patient — not just the number on the scale.

If you’re considering GLP-1 medications or already taking them, make sure your health plan includes conversations about bone health, joint preservation, and strength training along the way.

What started as Dr. Ronald V. Hudanich’s proprietary muscle-sparing knee replacement approach has now helped shape the future of robotic joint replacement surgery.

His trademarked technique played an integral role in the development of Stryker’s new BackIn Action procedure — an advanced approach that combines:
✔️ Muscle-sparing surgery
✔️ Tourniquet-less techniques
✔️ Mako SmartRobotics precision

The result is a knee replacement experience designed to reduce soft tissue disruption, minimize pain, and help patients recover faster.

Dr. Hudanich’s continued focus on innovation is helping redefine what patients can expect from knee replacement surgery.

Proud to see Dr. Vickaryous continuing to lead beyond the clinic.

As an Active Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, he’s now serving his second committee appointment—helping shape the future of patient care through evidence-based standards and presently serves on the Communications Committee helping to educate and promote musculoskeletal well-being at the national level. After six years on the Committee on Evidence-Based Quality and Value, his work has directly supported the development of clinical guidelines that define high-quality orthopedic care across the country.

Presently, as a member of the Communications Committee he is instrumental in disseminating key orthopedic knowledge and news to the Fellows of the AAOS, our patients, the national media, our elected representatives, and the world medical community that looks to the AAOS as the standard bearer.

From advancing research to informing policymakers and educating patients, this is what leadership in medicine looks like. We’re proud to have that level of expertise guiding care at GOOG. Here is some interesting content on testosterone therapy and knee replacement from the AAOS press center:

The take home message here is that medications that we take may have unintended consequences. It is important to discuss these issues with the providers that both prescribe these as well as those such as an orthopedic surgeon that treats you. This way you may be counseled as to the risks and benefits of these hormonal treatments that effect multiple systems in our bodies.

Ultra-processed foods aren’t just a nutrition issue—they may be impacting your muscle health.

Research highlighted by Everyday Health shows diets high in ultra-processed foods may be linked to decreased muscle quality and strength over time.

If you’re dealing with weakness, fatigue, or slower recovery, your diet could be part of the picture.

Strong body starts with smart fuel.

Spring in Florida means more time outside—but it also means a rise in injuries. ☀️🌴

Each year, orthopedic specialists see a noticeable increase in sprains, strains, and overuse injuries this time of year. The reason is simple: activity levels ramp up faster than the body is prepared to handle.

From long days on the golf course to weekend pickleball matches and yard work in the heat, these sudden increases in movement can place added stress on joints, muscles, and tendons.

Common spring injuries we see:
• Shoulder and knee strain
• Tendonitis (especially in the elbow and Achilles)
• Lower back pain from lifting or repetitive motion

A few ways to reduce your risk:
✔ Gradually increase activity intensity and duration
✔ Incorporate proper warm-ups and stretching
✔ Stay hydrated and take breaks—especially in the Florida heat
✔ Pay attention to early signs of discomfort

Ignoring minor pain can often lead to more significant injury and longer recovery times.

If something feels off, it’s worth having it evaluated sooner rather than later—so you can stay active and enjoy everything spring in Florida has to offer.

⚠️ When is your child’s sports injury more than “just soreness”?

It’s easy to brush off aches and pains as part of the game—but some symptoms shouldn’t be ignored. Overuse injuries in young athletes are on the rise, and catching them early can make all the difference.

Here are a few red flags parents should watch for 👇

🔴 Pain that doesn’t go away after rest
🔴 Limping or favoring one side
🔴 Decreased performance or avoiding activity
🔴 Swelling that keeps coming back
🔴 Pain that wakes them up at night

Kids won’t always speak up—sometimes it shows up in how they move (or don’t).

Pushing through pain might seem tough in the moment, but it can lead to longer recovery times and more serious injuries down the road.

✅ What you can do:
• Encourage rest days (yes—even during the season)
• Make sure they’re cross-training, not just repeating the same motion
• Listen when they say something hurts—and take it seriously

Your goal isn’t just raising a great athlete—it’s raising a healthy one. 🧡

If something feels off, it’s worth getting it checked out early.

Dr. Hudanich traveled to Charlotte, NC this weekend with his Stryker and Mako Team members Jamie Kalstek and Josh Pritchard. He was lead faculty in the regional event teaching Muscle Sparing Mako Robotic Knee replacements to other Orthopedic Hip and Knee surgeons.

Sponsored by Stryker Orthopedics, Mako Robotics and the Stryker Medical Education Division, this national educational campaign teaches surgeons about non-muscle-cutting Mako robotic knee replacements.

The course was held at the world class IRCAD North America training and research facility which is part of a global network and serves as an international hub for medical innovation.

The new project, sponsored by Stryker Orthopedics, is called the "Back In Action Knee" and is similar to Dr. Hudanich's TM 3:1 Non Muscle Cutting, Tourniquet-less Mako Robotic knee replacement surgery. Dr. Hudanich has been performing the 3:1 procedure since March of 2020 and was awarded a US Trademark ™️in June of 2021.

He has been performing robotic hip and knee replacements since 2017, has performed more than 5,000 of these surgeries and is committed to providing the latest and greatest medical technology and procedures in hip and knee replacements for his patients. When it comes to your joint health, experience matters—and staying ahead of the latest technology makes all the difference. To learn more, visit our website and schedule a visit if you are suffering from or dealing with hip and knee arthritis. https://greaterorlandoorthopedicgroup.com/

Yard work might not feel like a workout—but your body knows better.

In Florida, you’re not just dealing with lifting and bending… you’re adding heat and humidity into the mix. That’s where injuries tend to sneak in.

Taking just a few minutes to warm up can help you:

✔ Reduce joint strain

✔ Improve mobility

✔ Prevent common injuries

✔ Handle the heat more safely

If you’re dealing with lingering pain or an injury that won’t go away, it may be time to get it checked out.

Your next step doesn’t have to be surgery—sometimes it just starts with the right care plan.
