When DR ALAN CHEUNG isn’t reconstructing torn ACLs, repairing menisci or fixing unstable shoulders for his patients at International Orthopaedic Clinic in Singapore, you’ll likely find him throwing some punches at Evolve MMA (mixed martial arts) – or at least watching ringside, ready to help with any injuries that arise!

Knee pain is a common problem affecting people of all ages, from athletes pushing their limits to seniors managing everyday tasks.
From playground scrapes to the occasional misstep during exercise, bone fractures are a common experience that can strike anyone at any age.
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint that connects the thigh bone (femur) to the pelvis (hip bone). The hip joint is responsible for bearing the weight of the body and facilitating movement such as walking, running, and bending.
A dislocated shoulder is a common and painful injury that occurs when the ball of the upper arm bone (humerus) is forced out of the shallow socket (glenoid) in your shoulder blade.

Established by Dr Alan Cheung, the clinic specialises in sports injury treatment, pain management, joint replacement surgery and more in a personalised, coordinated and effective manner.
Most patients come to see me when they have pain and cannot do normal activities such as work, play sports and walk/run. If you have any concerns whatsoever about your body and an injury, then please make an appointment to see me.
I always advise my patients to listen to their body and not to push through the pain barrier. If you have tried RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) and simple painkillers, and your pain continues, then I advise you to seek medical advice, as continuing to play sport may worsen the problem.
Most patients will need some form of imaging. X-rays and CT scans are useful to rule out bony problems, whilst an MRI scan is excellent at looking at soft tissue (e.g. tendons, ligaments, cartilage) problems.
It depends how bad your problem is. If you have a broken bone which is extremely painful and disabling, then you may benefit from immediate surgery.
For less severe problems, then it may be worth trying non-surgical management initially such as painkillers and physiotherapy. If your symptoms do not improve or even worsen, then you may benefit from surgery.
Usually not, although I warn patients to avoid Traditional Chinese Medicine and blood thinning medications 2 weeks before surgery, as these may increase risk of bleeding during and after the operation.
