systematic review, researchers evaluated previously published studies of Lenke type 5 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis to examine the use of PCOs in combination with PSF and compare radiographic outcomes with PSF performed without PCOs. The research is published in the journal Spine Deformity.

A scoliosis exam allows doctors to see whether the spine has a curve. People with scoliosis can have a single curve, creating a “C” shape, or a double curve, creating an “S” shape.

Early, specialized care for pediatric hip dysplasia can mean the difference between a child who grows up active and pain-free-and one who faces surgery, limited mobility, or even early hip replacement. Yet many patients are still diagnosed much later than they should be.

To evaluate patient-reported outcomes, return to activity, complications, and failures at midterm follow-up in patients with plantar plate injuries treated with PRP injection.

This study compared the safety, efficacy, short-, and long-term clinical outcomes of open versus arthroscopic Brostr?m-Gould repair in management of chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI).

Posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow is a complex problem arising when both static and dynamic stabilizers of the joint are compromised. The lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) serves as the primary soft-tissue restraint to varus and external rotatory stress, while the coronoid proc...

Distal humerus fractures can be difficult to manage in older patients with poor bone quality and those with risk factors for failure of open reduction internal fixation. When nonunion occurs, there are limited repeat fixation options and conversion to total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) can be considered...

onditions, swimmer’s shoulder, is closely associated with orthopedic pathologies including rotator cuff tendinopathy, labral injury, and scapular dyskinesis, resulting from the repetitive overhead motion required in swimming.

Serratus anterior muscle injuries are rare, most commonly reported in rowing and overhead throwing athletes. These injuries typically present with anterolateral chest wall pain and a palpable mass. Atypical presentations may lead to diagnostic challenges, particularly when symptoms mimic shoulder pa...

Robotic systems are being increasingly used to assist with total knee replacement (TKR). Whether robotic systems improve outcomes after TKR is uncertain. We aimed to ascertain the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the Mako robotic-arm system compared with conventional instruments for TKR.
