Ankle arthritis often results from post-traumatic, rheumatologic, or structural etiologies, and has historically been surgically managed with tibiotalar joint arthrodesis. Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a promising alternative, particularly for failed ankle fusions. The purpose of this study was ...

Postoperative outcomes after hyperselective neurectomy of the elbow flexors are commonly assessed with the modified Ashworth Scale or the Tardieu Scale. A degree of subjectivity exists despite our best efforts. This proof-of-concept study evaluated the feasibility and added value of an instrumented ...

This study looked at the short-to mid-term outcomes of elbow arthroscopy in treating primary elbow osteoarthritis. This systematic review reported positive clinical outcomes following arthroscopic osteocapsular arthroplasty at the short-to mid-term for primary elbow osteoarthritis.

Given the unique biomechanical demands of TSA, rising TSA volumes, and increasing GLP-1 RA use, this systematic review aims to evaluate the current literature on the impact of GLP-1 RA therapy on postoperative outcomes in TSA patients.

In the rehabilitation of a person seeking care for pain associated with the musculoskeletal system, two questions are important: The first; is improvement in muscular strength important for recovery, and the second, should we be measuring it clinically? We wish to debate these questions with referen...

Behind the technical success of modern ACL surgeries and the effectiveness of “return to sport” protocols lies a reality that the worlds of sports and medicine are only just starting to face: the management of the initial ACL injury with return to sport is not the finish line, but the beginning ...

Quadriceps and hamstring dysfunction is well-documented in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). While strength deficits are often studied, changes in muscle flexibility and their influence on postoperative recovery remain less understood. This study aime...

Implant selection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains a critical yet variable aspect of surgical decision-making, associated with both patient characteristics and surgeon-related factors. With the increasing integration of surgical innovations such as robotic-assisted techniques, unders...

Hip preservation surgery (HPS) is increasingly performed in young and active patients with the aim of delaying or avoiding total hip arthroplasty (THA). Despite advances in preservation techniques, a proportion of patients eventually progress to end-stage hip disease and require conversion to THA. P...

Significant increases in use of THA and TKA are expected in the United States in the future, if the current trend continues. The increased use is evident across age groups in both females and males. A policy change may be needed to meet increased demand
