Splint vs. cast vs. brace: What’s the difference? 🩹
👉🏽 A splint is rigid on one side and allows swelling after an injury or surgery.
👉🏽 A cast is hard all around and offers the most support, perfect for stabilizing fractures.
👉🏽 A brace uses Velcro and metal, is easy to remove, and still lets you move a bit — great for later stages of healing.
Not sure which one you need? Dr. David Ratliff and the Modern Orthopaedics team can guide you through it!

Waking up with numb fingers? 😴
Numbness in your pinky and ring finger might be more than just sleeping funny; it could be cubital tunnel syndrome, caused by pressure on the ulnar (funny bone) nerve at your elbow.
🖐️ Left untreated, it can lead to muscle weakness in your hand.
Have questions about numbness or tingling? Dr. David Ratliff and the Modern Orthopaedics team can help!

Wondering why your joints ache?
Arthritis isn’t just one condition — it’s a group of issues causing joint pain and inflammation. Osteoarthritis, the most common type, comes from cartilage wearing down over time. 🦴
But genetics, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, and other factors can also play a big role. 🤔
Not sure what’s behind your joint pain?
Dr. David Ratliff and the Modern Orthopaedics team can help you figure it out. 💡

Too young for a knee replacement? Think again. 🦵🏽
If arthritis is keeping you from living your life, there are options, even in your 30s and 40s.
Dr. Lee explains why age shouldn’t hold you back.
