Orthopaedic injuries can happen very easily from a simple slip on a wet floor to a high impact sporting accident. Regardless of the cause of the orthpaedic injury, the result can impact how you manage your daily activities e.g.
- how do you shower safely or cook the dinner for the family with a broken arm?
- how do you access upstairs if you have a broken leg?
Following some orthopaedic surgery, patients are given strict precautions they must adhere to for a period of time post surgery in order to allow the bone (and muscles surrounding it) time to heal. Hip replacement surgery is a common example of this.
