Myths & Misconceptions with Dr Sekeitto.

  • Myth: Orthopaedic care is exclusive to athletes and older adults

It's a common myth that orthopaedic care is only relevant for athletes or older individuals. While these groups may be more susceptible to orthopaedic issues, people of all ages and activity levels can encounter such problems. Genetics, lifestyle, work-related risks and accidents can contribute to orthopaedic concerns.

  • Misconception: Orthopaedic surgery should always be a last resort

There's a prevailing belief that orthopaedic surgery should be avoided whenever possible and considered a last resort. While surgery isn't always the go-to solution for orthopaedic conditions, it can offer significant benefits in certain cases. Advances in surgical techniques, minimally invasive procedures and enhanced recovery protocols have made orthopaedic surgery safer and more effective.

  • Misconception: Exercise aggravates orthopeadic conditions

Another misconception is that exercise can worsen orthopaedic conditions or lead to more damage. Contrary to this belief, appropriate exercise and physical activity are frequently prescribed as part of the treatment plan for orthopaedic conditions. Exercise plays a vital role in strengthening muscles, enhancing flexibility, promoting joint stability and improving overall function.
