In a paper appearing in Modern Pathology, John Gross, M.D., associate professor of pathology and orthopedic surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, describes in detail for the first time a slow-growing, bone-covered, noncancerous mass that he named the ossifying spindled and epit...

Spinal metastasis, the spread of cancer to the spine, is a frequent complication in advanced cancer. It often causes severe pain and paralysis, significantly impacting quality of life.

Advancements in understanding the acetabular labrum's role in hip biomechanics have emphasized preserving its native anatomy. However, severe labral pathology may make labral repair unfeasible in certain cases. The primary aim of the present study is to review existing literature comparing c...

Hip arthroscopy (HA) is increasingly used to treat femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tears, with growing interest in the role of socioeconomic factors on postoperative outcomes. Prior literature suggests socioeconomic deprivation may worsen patient-reported outcomes (PROMs), but findings...

Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS), a known contributor to hip osteoarthritis, is frequently treated through hip arthroscopy. However, the impact of preoperative hip osteoarthritis severity on quality of life (QoL) post-surgery remains unclear. This study tested the hypothesis that individ...

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety profiles of acemetacin and indomethacin for prophylaxis of heterotopic ossification (HO) following hip arthroscopy. While indomethacin is a well-established agent, evidence on acemetacin remains limited. This retrospective study included 1...

In patients with borderline hip dysplasia (BHD), radiographic and clinical variables influence in the decision to treat the painful hip with periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) versus isolated hip arthroscopy (iHA). The purpose of this study focusing on adolescent and young adult patients with BHD was to...

Rickets is a medical condition that causes bones to become weak and soft. There are two types of rickets: one caused by a nutritional deficiency and the other hereditary. Rickets symptoms typically present in childhood and can cause lifelong effects.

A new national study has found that single-event multi-level surgery (SEMLS) helps straighten the legs and improves walking ability in children with cerebral palsy.

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare and challenging pediatric orthopedic disorder that predominantly affects the distal or middle third of the tibia, with involvement of the proximal third being exceedingly rare.
