ACL reconstruction with reinforced bioinductive implant may yield favorable outcomes
Published results showed the inclusion of a reinforced bioinductive implant during ACL reconstruction may lead to favorable range of motion, pain and functional outcome scores, as well as low rates of clinical retear at 1-year follow-up.
Innovative imaging techniques show what happens inside bones during hip replacement surgery
Uncemented hip replacement surgery uses implants with roughened surfaces designed to allow the patient's bone to grow directly onto the implant, creating a strong, natural biological bond. Unlike cemented implants, which rely on bone cement that can degrade and fracture, uncemented implants depend on this natural bone integration for long-term stability.
Successful management of PJI occurred in about 50% of patients
Results presented at the Musculoskeletal Infection Society Annual Meeting showed successful management of periprosthetic joint infection occurred in a little more than half of cases after total joint arthroplasty.
Reported Rates of Labral Repair and Reconstruction in Primary Hip Arthroscopy Vary Widely Across Published Studies: A Systematic Review
Among studies reporting labral repair and reconstruction during primary hip arthroscopy, the proportion of each procedure performed varies widely. These findings highlight the procedural heterogeneity across surgeons performing hip arthroscopy.
What to know about knee stiffness
A stiff knee is a common complaint, especially among older adults and those who are very physically active. Knee stiffness can occur due to low flexibility or muscular imbalances in the legs, injury, or arthritis. The most suitable treatment for knee stiffness depends on the underlying cause.
