The feet play an essential role in shock absorption, and foot posture is closely related to gait. The compensatory mechanism under heavy-load conditio...

Following Lisfranc injury fixation, no consensus exists on whether to routinely remove metalwork. The aim of this study was to evaluate functional outcomes and complications in patients following routine removal of metalwork and in those with retained metalwork.

There has been a recent increase in ulnar collateral ligament injuries. These injuries typically occur in overhead athletes and baseball players, but can occur in athletes at all competition levels.

Elbow dislocations are very common, particularly in the posterolateral variety. Closed reduction is usually easy. However, an irreducible elbow dislocation without associated fracture is rare.

An association between higher preoperative Goutallier stage and higher retear rates following primary rotator cuff repairs has been previously reported. However, there are few reviews which have described clear retear rates for each repaired tendon classified according to preoperative Goutallier sta...

Scapular winging is a rare condition of the shoulder girdle which presents challenging treatment decisions for clinicians.

Total knee arthroplasty is a commonly performed elective orthopaedic surgery. Patients may endure substantial knee swelling following surgery, which are attributable to both effusion and edema. Studies have been aiming to identify an accurate and reliable method to quantify post-operative knee swell...

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy and imaging parameters of kinematic alignment (KA) and mechanical alignment (MA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to evaluate whether patients undergoing KA-TKA benefited more than those undergoing MA-TKA.

A functional intact anterior cruciate ligament (ACLI) is considered to be a prerequisite for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). However, UKA has shown that good clinical efficacy in ACL-deficient (ACLD) knees at 3 to 10 years follow-up. Therefore, the role of ACLD in UKA remains controversial...

Despite decreased operative times, uncemented hip hemiarthroplasty was associated with increased risk of fractures and complications compared with cemented hip hemiarthroplasty, results showed.
