To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthrodesis performed through anterior and lateral approaches for ankle arthritis treatment.

Locomotive syndrome (LS) is characterized by a decline in locomotor function due to musculoskeletal disorders. However, few studies have explored its association with ankle osteoarthritis (AOA) or surgical impact. This study evaluated LS and its improvement following corrective osteotomy (CO) or art...

The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) of the elbow is an essential static stabilizer against varus and posterolateral rotatory forces. It is hypothesized that injury to the LCL might impair elbow proprioception, although direct evidence for this impairment remains limited and warrants further invest...

The development of heterotopic ossification (HO) is a common yet debilitating complication after elbow injuries and related surgical procedures. We intend to evaluate the regional distribution features of HO around the elbow joint in patients with posttraumatic elbow stiffness (PTES), and explore th...

A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Science Direct for studies on the outcomes of arthroscopic surgery for SIS. Screening, data extraction, and quality appraisal were performed independently.

This study evaluated and compared clinical outcomes and return-to-sport rates in TSA patients following standard rehabilitation protocol and RSA patients following fast rehabilitation protocol.

Performing a posterior capsule release in the arthroscopic management of recalcitrant arthrofibrosis is challenging but important to optimize recovery of range of motion. This Technical Note and accompanying video present a stepwise approach to LOA that demonstrates a safe method for performing an a...

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are crucial in evaluating the success of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to determine the individual significance of each question of the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and the Veterans RAND 12 (VR-12) Mental Composite Score...

Multi-ligament knee injuries (MLKIs), involving damage to two or more major knee ligaments, present complex challenges in orthopedic surgery due to the intricacy of the injury and its significant impact on knee stability and function. These injuries often require specialized treatment strategies, wi...

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) primarily affects young adults, leading to femoral head collapse and secondary osteoarthritis. Treatments include joint-preserving surgery, which has been performed preferentially, especially for young adults, and joint arthroplasty, i.e., total hip arthropla...
