The Latitude total elbow prosthesis is a third-generation implant, developed to restore the natural anatomy of the elbow. Literature on this prosthesis is scarce. Aim of this study is to analyze the mid-term results of the Latitude total elbow prosthesis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of radial head implants in a current three-part total elbow arthroplasty and identify risk factors for mechanical failure.

Anterior shoulder instability and its treatment is a quickly evolving field of interest in orthopaedics, both for patients and for health-care systems. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction (AAGR) compared with Bankart repair in th...

In this article, we describe the unique presentation of an 83-year-old, right-hand dominant male with severe right arm dysfunction secondary to a humeral shaft non-union in the setting of ipsilateral CTA. The case highlights the options for, and difficulty in, managing these concomitant pathologies ...

In recent years, we have performed meniscal repairs using wrapped fibrin clots in PGA sheet. We considered the use of wrapped fibrin clots with a PGA sheet to treat meniscus tears. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a step-by-step guide to our new delivery technique using fibrin clots.

At the ANESTHESIOLOGY 2021 annual meeting, researchers from Hospital for Special Surgery presented data demonstrating the value of acupuncture in this patient population: In their study, patients who had acupuncture during TKA reported less pain and needed fewer opioids to manage pain than patients ...

The outcomes of nonagenarian patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery are not well understood. We investigated the 30-day mortality after surgical treatment of unilateral hip fracture. The relationship between postoperative complications and mortality was evaluated.

Although corticosteroid injections are commonly used to manage pain and inflammation in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip, a new study adds to concerns about the potential harmful effects of these injections.

Femoral head osteonecrosis in the paediatric population is difficult to treat, with the primary goals of management being prevention of subchondral collapse and the avoidance of early total hip replacement. This study aims to describe the use of a porous tantalum rod implant to provide mechanical su...

Free vascularized fibular grafting was reported a favorable method to prevent the collapse of the femoral head. This study analyzed the mid- to long-term outcomes of avascular fibular grafting (AVFG) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) with 6- to 8-year follow-up.
