Recent Answers from Dr. Timothy K. Durnin

2008-10-04 Knee injury:

Hi Alisson, You sustained blunt trauma to the back of the knee cap causing swelling and inflammation, this will subside with time. One thing to note is you may develop sub-patellar bursitis and chondomalacia

2007-12-13 young knees going bad!:

Hi Jeremiah, It could be a VMO weakness, chondromalacia patella (softening of the cartilage under the knee cap), Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, or some other inflammatory arthropathy. he only way to know

2007-11-30 Hand operation for arthritis:

Hi Steve, Yes, your friend is correct, all surgery will do is create scar tissue and possibly render the entire hands useless. It is probably too late for the thumb but the other joints can be saved

2007-11-29 Shoulder arthritis:

Yes Russell, This is definitely something that needs direct examination and contact with your Ortho, it is much to difficult to advise you otherwise with confidence since I can't examine you directly

2007-10-23 Grinding painful knee:

Hi Carolyn, Please read my profile, there has been a very effective treatment just short of a cure for OA for many years proven with randomized placebo controlled studies. There is little excuse anymore
