Globally, rising rates of ankle arthritis have largely driven increases in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and revision TAA (rTAA). INVISION (Wright Medical/Stryker) is a novel modular implant system designed for addressing rTAA-associated challenges; however, clinical outcomes remain limited. Theref...

Ankle injuries are among the most common reasons for urgent care visits. Evidence-based guidelines, particularly the Ottawa Ankle Rules (OAR), aim to standardize assessment and reduce unnecessary imaging. Despite strong evidence supporting their diagnostic accuracy, clinicians' adherence remains var...

Loose body removal and debridement remain common indications for elbow arthroscopy. This study identifies trends in elbow arthroscopy versus open procedures for loose body removal and debridement among American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) Part II Oral Examination candidates and compares the ...

Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) is a less invasive way to break adhesions and restore motion, though high-level comparative evidence is lacking. This study evaluated whether early MUA plus rehabilitation improves elbow motion, pain, and function compared to rehabilitation alone in patients with ...

Glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA) is a disabling disease that leads to poor shoulder function and pain. If conservative treatment fails, there are a variety of surgical procedures described in the literature. Comprehensive arthroscopic management (CAM), hemiarthroplasty (HA), and TSA provide good res...

Arthroscopic repair of posterosuperior MRCT provides significant pain and function improvement. Despite a high retear rate, mid-term clinical results remain favorable, with low complication and revision rates.

Meniscectomy, meniscal repair, and MAT are all able to provide high rates of return to sport in athletes. Importantly, all treatments offered good rates of return to the same level of athletic performance.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed after knee fracture osteosynthesis for post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOF) is technically demanding and may yield inferior outcomes compared with TKA performed for primary osteoarthritis (OA). Comparing patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between these groups is...

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) represents a major cause of pain and disability among older adults. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a promising biologic therapy aimed at modulating inflammation and promoting cartilage repair. As the clinical use of PRP has expanded, a rapidly growing body of lite...

In recent years collared femoral stems have been increasingly utilized in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for their ability to improve rotational stability, metaphyseal load transfer, and prevent periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF). While literature has demonstrated their benefit over collarless stem...
