Hip arthroscopy can minimize the invasiveness of certain procedures that are used to treat this type of injury.

One cause of hip-joint pain is called femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). This condition is characterized by abnormal bone shapes of the ball (femoral head) or socket (acetabulum), which may be risk factors for early hip joint arthritis. One of the treatments for FAI is to re-contour the bone shape,...

Is there an optimal time frame for staged arthroscopies and could a shorter time gap between arthroscopies actually lower risks of revision?

Published results showed osteochondral fragment fixation for treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus yielded superior clinical outcomes compared with bone marrow stimulation, even for lesions sized smaller than 100 mm

Total ankle replacement and ankle fusion for patients with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis had similar clinical outcome scores at 52 weeks after surgery, according to published results.

A Corresponding Point Measurement System Provides Reliable Measurement of Displacement for Medial Epicondyle Fractures

Results presented at the American Society for Surgery of the Hand Annual Meeting showed conservative treatment may lead to resolution of olecranon bursitis without complications, infections, atrophy, skin depigmentation or surgery.

The objective of this study was to determine the survivorship of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and reverse TSA (rTSA) over a medium-term follow-up in a large population-based sample and to identify potential risk factors for revision surgery.

Risk of revision I&D was markedly lower after arthroscopic I&D compared with open, although the protective benefit was limited to patients aged 65 years or older. Arthroscopy was also associated with decreased costs, length of stay, and complications. Although surgeons must consider specific...

Distal femoral deformities can be corrected acutely, without applying external fixators, with good preoperative planning and using the retrograde femoral nail. This technique is safe and effective, with a low complication rate.
