How Orthotics Aid in Lateral Ankle/Supination Injury Prevention and RecoveryUnderstanding Supination Injuries and Orthotics Supination injuries occur when there is an excessive outward roll of the foot, often leading to strain or damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Common causes include high-impact activities, anatomical imbalances, or inadequate footwear. Early symptoms might manifest as ankle pain, recurring sprains, or imbalance,…Understanding Supination Injuries and Orthotics Supination injuries occur when there is an excessive outward roll of the foot, often leading to strain or damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Common causes include high-impact activities, anatomical imbalances, or inadequate footwear. Early symptoms might manifest as ankle pain, recurring sprains, or imbalance, necessitating precise diagnosis typically through physical examination and possibly imaging. Orthotics play a key role in correcting foot alignment, reducing strain, and preventing injuries by providing crucial support and stability. The Impact of Orthotics on Supination Injuries Orthotics, especially custom ones like slimflex insoles, help realign the foot’s mechanics. They distribute weight evenly across the foot, alleviating pressure points and aiding in the correction of foot posture. This not only prevents further injury but also supports effective healing after an injury. By cushioning impact and stabilising the struct...

This article addresses common questions about microfracture surgery, including its limitations, long-term outcomes, and suitability for different patients. It explores more advanced alternatives such as ACI and MACI, and discusses how cartilage repair has evolved beyond microfracture surgery with regenerative medicine innovations. The article also questions the logic and effectiveness of relying on a bone healing response to repair cartilage. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding microfracture surgery's limitations and considering patient-specific factors when choosing the most suitable treatment approach.
