Distal humerus fractures can be difficult to manage in older patients with poor bone quality and those with risk factors for failure of open reduction internal fixation. When nonunion occurs, there are limited repeat fixation options and conversion to total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) can be considered...

onditions, swimmer’s shoulder, is closely associated with orthopedic pathologies including rotator cuff tendinopathy, labral injury, and scapular dyskinesis, resulting from the repetitive overhead motion required in swimming.

Serratus anterior muscle injuries are rare, most commonly reported in rowing and overhead throwing athletes. These injuries typically present with anterolateral chest wall pain and a palpable mass. Atypical presentations may lead to diagnostic challenges, particularly when symptoms mimic shoulder pa...

Robotic systems are being increasingly used to assist with total knee replacement (TKR). Whether robotic systems improve outcomes after TKR is uncertain. We aimed to ascertain the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the Mako robotic-arm system compared with conventional instruments for TKR.

Periprosthetic fracture is a complex and urgent condition in orthopedic surgery. It requires an individual approach to every patient, and treatment is associated with high risk of complications.

As interest in joint preservation strategies has grown, biologic therapies have emerged as promising approaches capable of modulating the intra-articular environment and potentially delaying invasive interventions.

The clinical efficacy of posterior hip precautions in preventing dislocation after primary posterior approach total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains uncertain. Such mobility restrictions may delay patients’ return to daily activities and functional recovery. The aim of this study was to determine wh...

Surgical management of displaced femoral neck fractures in older adults typically involves hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although clinical guidelines suggest that THA may be considered in selected healthier and cognitively intact patients, real-world procedure selection varies wi...

The acetabular labrum is a crucial component for the hip joint stability. Studies have demonstrated its role in maintaining intra-articular synovial fluid pressurization-creating negative intra-articular pressure. Additionally, the labrum enhances joint stability by increasing acetabular volume by 3...

This study aimed to quantify the patient-level carbon footprint of hip arthroscopy in athletically active patients and to identify its structural determinants and relationship with functional outcomes.
