From the North Pole to Orthopedic ONE: Santa Robert's Story

You can imagine the surprise when none other than the big, jolly guy himself came into Orthopedic ONE for an appointment with our Dr. David Robie. It turns out all those years of toting heavy sacks of toys, scaling chimneys, and balancing kiddos on his lap had taken a toll and Santa was in desperate need of a knee replacement. 

He didn’t cry. He didn’t pout. Santa Robert knew just where to go. The team at Orthopedic ONE got him in quickly and scheduled his surgery within a month. Post-surgery, he’s been working hard with the therapy team to ensure he’s ready for the busy months ahead! In fact, he kicked off the season November 15 at Delaware’s Fantasy of Lights event - and “felt great!”

Staying Atop the Ladder

Now that everyone has had ample opportunity to let the Thanksgiving feast digest, it is time to get those holiday decorations out of the attic and out on display! As you get ready to hang the holiday lights and trim the tree, don’t forget to examine the most important piece of equipment needed to perform these tasks safely…your ladder!

According to the World Health Organization, “the United States leads the world in ladder deaths. Each year, there are more than 164,000 emergency room-treated injuries and 300 deaths in the U.S. that are caused by falls from ladders.” Another shocking fact is that, “most ladder deaths are from falls 10 feet or less”. To prevent any such injury or catastrophic event, please keep these following safety guidelines in mind! 

DON’T GET “BURNED” THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year full of family, friends and of course, food! Regardless of how you decide to prepare your turkey for the big feast, make sure to take the proper precautions to prevent any unnecessary emergencies.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, “Cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and injuries.” Specifically, leaving the kitchen unattended while cooking. In fact, fire departments respond to an average of 166,000 home fires per year involving cooking equipment.
