Intra-articular steroid injections (IASI) and knee arthroscopies are occasionally performed after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with persistent pain, inflammation, or mechanical symptoms. Prior studies have raised concern regarding a potential increased risk of periprosthetic joint infec...

There have been many variations of knee arthroscopy posterolateral portal establishment techniques, yet few reports of associated complications. The objective of this study was to describe a standardized inside-out posterolateral portal development technique and to report data on its safety.

Hip fracture–dislocations accompanied by femoral head or acetabular fractures remain challenging, and the optimal treatment strategy is still controversial. Anterior hip fracture–dislocations are particularly rare, and reports describing acute total hip arthroplasty (THA) for this injury pattern...

Early surgical intervention for avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head can preserve the hip joint and delay the need for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of various surgical modalities to treat femoral head AVN as assessed by THA-fre...

This study aimed to analyse the symptomatic differences of hip dysplasia before or after separate surgical interventions, including pain location and characteristics, severity, patient-reported outcomes, and a body pain diagram.

Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) is a well-established joint preserving surgery to correct acetabular coverage in hip dysplasia. However, it is technically demanding. We aim to design a 3D-printed patient specific cutting and reorientation jig that will improve the safety and precision of correction i...

Tight quads can cause lower back pain by pulling the pelvis down and creating an excessive arch in the lower back.

Clinical gait analysis may objectively measure preoperative disability associated with lumbar degenerative disease. Gait analysis may also improve postoperative function measurements after lumbar decompression.

RA is an autoimmune condition that causes joint swelling and pain throughout the body. Usually, it affects small peripheral joints, such as those in the hands and feet, rather than the spine. However, RA can also affect the C1 and C2 vertebrae, which sit at the very top of the neck. RA can potential...

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic condition in which the spine and surrounding areas of the body become inflamed. This can lead to pain that is often described as sharp, shooting, or burning. There are many ways to manage ankylosing spondylitis pain. Some people may find medications effective...
