Dr. James P. Halloran met with McKenzie Nelson of 41 Action News to discuss the dislocation of the knee cap suffered by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
“Right after it happens, it’s always easiest to get it back in, so if you wait, if you would have left it out, it’s just the muscles tighten up, everything starts to swell and you can have a lot more problems trying to get the knee cap back into position and more painful, so you usually have to use some sort of anesthesia,” Dr. Halloran said. Halloran expects several weeks of rehab for Mahomes, beginning soon after any inflammation decreases. “Off the bat, you’re really trying to reduce a lot of the inflammation that’s going on, a lot of the swelling because he’s probably going to have a fairly swollen knee today,” Halloran said. “After we get that resolved, then we’re working on range of motion, strengthening the quadriceps, trying to prevent any further what I call translation or subluxation of that kneecap, so probably immobilization for a week to two weeks, controlling your inflammation and also just working on strengthening around the knee.” You can find the entire story and video on 41 Action News’ website.Author: Kiran Chandra

What You Need To Know About Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains occur when the ligaments that support the ankle stretch or tear and can range in severity from mild to severe depending on how much damage and tearing there is to the ligaments. Most ankle sprains are minor injuries that can heal on their own with rest and home treatments. The length of time that an athlete may be out of action can vary from a few days to 4-6 weeks. A majority of ankle sprains occur when the foot turns inward damaging the supporting ligaments on the outside of the ankle (or what many people think of as rolling the ankle). Everyone that sustains an ankle sprain would benefit from instruction in an exercise program to ensure optimal recovery occurs and to decrease the likelihood that you will injure it again. When there is injury to the ligaments that support the bones, nerves that help with balance that are within ligaments are also affected which increases the likelihood that you may sustain future ankle sprains. The best way to minimize your ankle sprain from becoming a chronic issue is to perform exercises that help to strengthen the muscles around the ankle and improve your balance on the injured leg. Repeated ankle sprains can lead to long term problems, including chronic ankle pain, arthritis, and ongoing instability.
A high ankle sprain is a more severe form of injury and occurs when the ligaments and strong connective tissue, called the syndesmosis, between the two lower leg bones are torn and injured during a twisting movement. The recovery from a high ankle sprain is typically much longer than a lateral ankle sprain.

Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute Celebrates 20 Year Anniversary
Leawood, Kansas, January 14, 2020– On January 14, 2020 Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute (KCOI) will celebrate the 20 year anniversary of their first surgery. In 1998, many of Kansas City’s leading orthopedic surgeons recognized the unmet need in the community for a hospital that was dedicated exclusively to orthopedic care. A hospital owned by orthopaedic surgeons and managed by orthopaedic surgeons. The physicians from Dickson-Diveley Orthopaedics, Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine Clinic of Kansas City, and Orthopaedic and Sports medicine Consultants came together with Saint Luke’s Health System to create the hospital known as Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute. The hospital officially opened their doors in January of 2000 and had their first surgery on January 14, 2000.
“I can’t begin to express how proud I am of the growth of Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute has experienced over the past 20 years,” said Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute CEO Charles E. Rhoades M.D. “The genesis of the formation of Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute was to provide our community with the highest possible level of orthopedic care. We have been able to adapt to fit the needs of our community from expanded services such as our Ortho Urgent Care to our recently completed expansion and renovation of the hospital. We look forward to serving our community for the next 20 years and beyond.”
Since opening in 2000 Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute has expanded the services they provide the community. In November 2016 the Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute opened Ortho Urgent Care. The Ortho Urgent Care provides access to highly specialized orthopedic care and sports medicine experts seven days a week when many people are in need of orthopedic care. The Ortho Urgent Care staff provides rapid diagnosis and treatment for orthopedic injuries that do not require a trip to the emergency room.
To meet the community’s growing need for specialized orthopedic care, Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute broke ground on a 22,000 square foot expansion and renovations of the hospital. The expansion and renovations began in February 2017 and was completed in July 2019. The project included renovation of the entire hospital space. The hospital now has 17 new and modern inpatient rooms, 8 surgical suites, a new interventional spine suite, MRI, outpatient physical and occupational therapy and an orthopedic urgent care open 7 days a week.
Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute has fellowship trained orthopedic surgeons in nearly every sub-specialty. KCOI performs nearly 7,000 procedures annually including total joint replacements and reconstructions of the shoulder, hand, elbow, knee hip, foot, ankle and spine.
Over the last 20 years, Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute has received national recognition for the elite level of care they provide. KCOI continually ranks among the top hospital in the region for Joint Replacement and patient experience ranked by independent quality reviewers. From 2014 – 2019 KCOI received the CareChex Awards for Top 10% in the nation for the categories of Medical Excellence, Patient Safety, and Patient Satisfaction in the areas of overall surgical care, overall hospital care, overall medical care joint replacement, major orthopedic surgery.
In 2019, KCOI received the Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Award for Patient Experience in Inpatient Care. The Guardian of Excellence Award recognizes top-performing health care organizations that have achieved the 95th percentile or above of performance in Patient Experience. Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute is the only hospital in the Kansas City region to receive the 2019 Guardian of Excellence Award.
KCOI’s commitment to safety and quality is highlighted by an amazing low infection rate of 0.08%- 1/50th the national rate of infection for a hospital.
