Having finally qualified, all eyes are now fixed on England’s clash with Germany on Sunday but there are still concerns about Wayne Rooney’s ankle injury (DailyMail.co.uk 24th June 2010).
Mr Fares Haddad, orthopaedic surgeon here at The Princess Grace Hospital and also University College Hospital, has these reassuring words.
“Footballers frequently can be managed such that they play on with minor injuries and niggles. As Wayne Rooney has already suffered an ankle injury last season it is highly likely that he continues to play with some inflammation in his ankle, secondary to minor instability and possibly bone bruising.
This can be stirred up by playing and can be managed with elevation, ie, anti inflammatories, physiotherapy and non impact activity such that he will, in all probability, modify his training load but play when required on Sunday.

Our hospital is now just an ‘iPhone app’ away!
Here at The Princess Grace Hospital we love technology and pride ourselves on often being the first to make the latest innovations available to our doctors and patients. We have led the field with digital mammography, robotic surgery and most recently low-dose CT scanning. Now I’m very excited to announce our new iPhone app – which we think is another first for a private hospital.
We’ve called our iPhone app PG DOCTOR and its main function is give GPs fast and easy access to our database of private specialists as well as a direct line into the hospital facilities and to our Urgent Care Centre.
Using the app, GPs can search for consultants by name or treatment area, view full background and contact details, including NHS base – and book appointments or emergency admissions through HCA Connect our central booking service.
Doctors feature strongly amongst the early adopters of iPhone technology and there have been almost 5,000 medical apps developed so far. As well as saving valuable time for busy GPs, we’re hoping that PGDoctor will enhance the referral process by them to locate the right consultant for a particular patient condition. Then it’s simply a case of contacting us directly from the PGDoctor app and we can do the rest from here.
You can download PGDoctor from the iTunes store – for free, of course.
