Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common musculoskeletal disorder caused by traumatic or atraumatic factors, resulting in pain, functional limitation, and reduced quality of life. This systematic review aimed to summarize the pathophysiology, anatomical changes, and functional outcomes of tra...

Meniscus tears can change the biomechanical environment of the knee joint and might accelerate the development of osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamic biomechanical effects of different medial meniscus tear positions and tear gaps on the knee during walking.

The aim of this prospective open-label, uncontrolled, observational, single-site study was to assess the efficacy and safety of a single hybrid HA injection over a period of 6 months in subpopulations of patients with low to severe symptomatic knee OA in everyday clinical practice.

Meniscal tear repair has become the gold standard modality for treating different types of meniscal tears. Despite the availability of numerous repair techniques, the ideal approach remains unclear, especially for complex and irreparable tears. Recently, innovative techniques have emerged to address...

Modular dual mobility designs (MDM) are designed to reduce the risk of postoperative dislocations following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study investigated both the usage and outcomes (ie, patient-reported outcomes and complications) associated with MDM hips compared with conventional ...

This novel reverse total hip arthroplasty (RTHA) design has been developed with enhanced mechanical stability at extremes of motion by reversing the articulating surfaces using a femoral cup and acetabular ball. The purpose of this study was to assess the implant-bone fixation using radiostereometri...

A periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) seeks to improve native hip function in patients with pre-arthritic dysplasia. Fulfilment of expectations has been shown to influence post-operative satisfaction in spine surgery and knee arthroplasty, but has not been investigated for PAOs. This study analyses relat...

Radiographs do not entirely capture the complexity of acetabular morphology. The purpose of this study was to establish normative three-dimensional (3D) acetabular morphology in young adults without hip disease and identify sex-specific differences in acetabular coverage.

Treatment of upper lumbar disc herniation (LDH) with concomitant spinal canal stenosis is challenging. Conventionally, addressing both pathologies endoscopically requires the use of both transforaminal and interlaminar endoscopic systems, which increases surgical invasiveness and procedural complexi...

Scoliosis is a common spine condition often found in adolescents. Roughly 3 million new cases of the condition are diagnosed in the United States each year, with a majority of them identified as idiopathic scoliosis  a type of scoliosis that presents in children in their teenage years.
