Their findings could pave the way for designing more strategically engineered transplants for a less costly, more effective means of treating cartilage damage in the joints than current methods.

The approach to establishing adequate sites for portal placement is dependent upon recognizing the pertinent anatomy of the surgical site. At the same time, the operator must be mindful of the desired views once access to the joint space has been obtained. Proper visualization of the desired joint r...

In this review, an overview of current knowledge of management and treatment of SCFE is presented. Due to the lack of consensus regarding classification, different surgical techniques, and outcome scores, it is hard to establish applicable guidelines or algorithms. With this work, we aim to provide ...

Hip dysplasia and femoroacetabular impingement are pathologies whose impact on the function and survival of the hip joint is no longer debated. Labral tears may be present and impact the prognosis of the causal pathology. Labral tear management lacks consensus and still raises several questions, thu...

Total hip arthroplasty for patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip may yield promising results; however, careful planning and surgical techniques are required to improve survivorship and reduce complications, a speaker said.

Depending on the type of bone loss, intracavitary or extracavitary augments may provide either secondary or primary support in acetabular reconstruction with major bone loss, according to a presenter.
