Knee pain is a common complaint and its prevalence is increasing in recent years in
both young athletes and the elderly. The causes of knee injury are varied. For
example, twisting of the knee during exercise can lead to injuries of the meniscus
or cruciate ligament. In addition, aging-related wearing of the meniscus may occur
in almost every individual. Shoulder pain resulted from disorders like rotator cuff
tear or frozen shoulder may significantly impair our life quality. People who have
history of trauma, do overhead works, or experience repetitive stress on shoulders
are at high risk of rotator cuff tear. Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen
shoulder, usually causes severe stiffness and pain, and interferes daily life.
In general, musculoskeletal disorders often cause pain that disturb our exercise,
ambulation, or even routine work. Left untreated, these injuries may even contribute
to mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. Fortunately, there are many
treatments and new techniques of repair or reconstruction operations such as
arthroscopy, minimal invasive surgery, or high tibial osteotomy. With these advanced
approaches, we can help our tissue recover in a better and more efficient way. As an
orthopaedic surgeon in NTUH, the leading hospital in sport injury solution, it is my
great pleasure to treat a patient’s pain from the musculoskeletal system.
