Short to mid-term outcomes of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement and labral tears in patients with diabetes
The purpose of this study is to report outcomes of patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) who underwent hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) at short- to mid-term timepoints comparing these results to a control group of non-DM patients.
In-Hospital Exposure and Opioids Prescribed After Total Knee Arthroplasty
Opioids are frequently used intraoperatively and during post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) care in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) cases and are commonly prescribed after surgery despite known adverse effects. This study examined whether in-hospital opioid exposure is related to postoperative opioid prescribing in opioid-naïve TKA patients.
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.
How Glenoid Fractures Are TreatedHow Glenoid Fractures Are Treated
A glenoid fracture is a fracture of the socket of the glenohumeral joint. This is the ball-and-socket joint in your shoulder that allows you to rotate your arm or move it up and down and side to side. A glenoid fracture is uncommon and usually only occurs as a result of a high-impact injury.
Tips for healing a sprained ankle fast
Sprained ankles can be very painful, and severe sprains can require months of recovery. However, a person can take several steps at home to help speed their healing and reduce the risk of re-injury.
How small changes in walking technique may help treat knee osteoarthritis
Gait analysis and pain measures show that subtly adjusting the angle of the foot during walking may reduce knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. This approach may also slow progression of the condition, an incurable disease in which the cartilage cushion inside a joint breaks down.
The Femoral Head Edema Zone: A Novel Classification Scheme to Better Predict Osteonecrosis Progression
This study proposed a new classification, the Edema Zone classification, that uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images to grade the extent of edema in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The purpose of the study was 1) to examine how the Edema Zone classification compared to the Japanese Investigation Committee (JIC) classification’s prognostic ability for early conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA), and 2) to determine how accurately and reliably the Edema Zone classification performed as a classification system.
How to Get Rid of Sore Muscles: 10 Relief Tips
It's common for your muscles to feel sore after a workout, particularly if it's a new exercise for you or a more intense session. Experts call this delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and it happens after physical activity that puts an unaccustomed load on your muscles. Whether muscle soreness is mild and barely noticeable or extremely painful, there are several ways in which to relieve discomfort and possibly recover faster.
Total hip arthroplasty versus hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture: an overview of systematic reviews total hip arthroplasty versus hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture: an overview of systematic reviews
Hip arthroplasties for the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in adults can be total replacement or hemiarthroplasty. Despite the large number of studies on the topic, the best choice of arthroplasty to be used remains unclear.
