A painful shoulder can make simple things surprisingly difficult.

Sleeping on one side. Reaching overhead. Putting on a jacket. Training at the gym.

But shoulder pain does not automatically mean there is a tear, and a scan on its own does not decide what treatment you need.

A good assessment looks at where the pain is coming from, how the shoulder moves, what aggravates it and how much function you have lost.

That distinction matters.

The right treatment starts with knowing what you are actually treating.

When an ACL reconstruction fails, the answer is not simply to “do the operation again”.

The first job is to understand why it failed.

Was there another source of instability? Is alignment playing a role? What condition are the meniscus and cartilage in? What happened to the original graft?

Revision ACL surgery often means solving a more complex puzzle than the first operation.

For Dr Hannes Jonker, that investigation is where the real work begins.

Because before you can rebuild a knee properly, you need to understand exactly what went wrong.

For patients, the first few weeks after a knee replacement can be the hardest part of the journey. Getting in and out of a chair, walking without support, climbing stairs and simply getting back to normal daily activities can take time.

This is where the subvastus approach can make a difference. By preserving the quadriceps muscle, the approach aims to minimise disruption to the tissues that are so important for getting you moving again.

The long-term result may be similar, but the early recovery experience can be very different.

As Dr Jonker puts it: 💡 “𝙒𝙚’𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣. 𝙒𝙚’𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙟𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮.”

Some injuries heal quickly. Others need a little more help. 🦵

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment used for stubborn tendon and overuse injuries, including tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, jumper’s knee and plantar fasciitis.

It helps stimulate the body’s natural healing response, reduce pain and improve function, with the goal of getting you back to moving comfortably and confidently. 💪

If your recovery has stalled, speak to the Orthosport Physiotherapy team about whether shockwave therapy could be appropriate for you.

The work our physios do is not only about getting people back after injury.

It is also about helping people stay strong, move well and avoid losing function in the first place.

Sometimes the biggest difference comes from the smallest changes, done consistently.

Today we celebrate the Orthosport physiotherapists who help our patients keep moving with confidence.

Happy World Physiotherapy Day.

𝗣𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆.

Dr Hannes Jonker recently joined some of the leading minds in knee surgery at the 2026 South African Orthopaedic Association Congress in Cape Town.

Alongside Dr Andrew de Vlieg, Dr Jonker presented on his approach to the failed ACL patient, sharing experience from complex revision cases and contributing to the discussions around how these challenging injuries can be managed better.

The congress also created the opportunity to exchange ideas with Prof Michael Held, Head of knee surgery at the University of Cape Town, and internationally renowned knee surgeon Dr Alan Getgood of Fortius Clinic, London.

For Dr Jonker, this is where progress happens. Sharing difficult cases. Challenging established thinking. Learning from surgeons at the top of their field and constantly asking how knee surgery can be improved for better patient outcomes.

Orthosport was proud to be part of the conversation.

Athletes are often told to 𝙥𝙪𝙨𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝. 💪

Sometimes that’s good advice. Sometimes it's the LAST thing you should do! ⚠️

Knowing the difference can mean the difference between a quick recovery and a long-term injury.

Sports medicine isn’t only about treating injuries. 🩺 It’s about preventing them, managing training loads and helping athletes make informed decisions about when it’s safe to return to play. 🏃‍♂️

Ignoring pain rarely makes it disappear. Understanding it can change everything. 💡
If pain is affecting your performance, don’t ignore it.
