Comparative evidence regarding the direct anterior approach and hip arthroscopy–assisted surgery for Pipkin type I and II fractures remains limited. This study compares these minimally invasive strategies and evaluates whether fragment excision or internal fixation yields superior functional outco...

Supine, anterior-based hip surgery has been popularized over the last few decades, not just for arthroplasty but also for hip preservation indications. Hip surgeons have employed anterior approaches to safely perform periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), femoral osteochondroplasty, and open reduction of f...

At the time of presentation, the patient was a 17-year-old male referred for evaluation of chronic right hip pain and limb length discrepancy, which was managed with a shoe lift.

Results showed infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip who underwent a Pavlik weaning protocol had improved acetabular index at 6-month follow-up vs. those who experienced immediate ceased treatment after ultrasound normalization.

Early sports specialization between the ages of 8 and 14 years may increase the risk for hip pain and the need for surgical treatment of hip conditions, according to results presented

A 16-year-old female high school junior with a history of recurrent patellar instability presented with left knee pain following a patellar dislocation event.

Volcano deformity is an intra-articular deformity discovered after the wide use of the tension band plate (TBP) all over the world. Controversy on whether this is a pervasive effect that applies to all TBP treatments or just a sporadic event is still under debate. In contrast, percutaneous epiphysio...

For decades, orthopedic surgeons relied on two-dimensional X-rays to repair three-dimensional problems. While effective for simple broken bones, this traditional approach can be like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube while only looking at one side. New technology is changing pediatric limb reconstruc...

Metallic biomaterials enable successful reconstruction and fixation of skeletal tissues by supporting repair, load-bearing function, and anatomical alignment in foot and ankle surgery. However, the unique anatomic and biomechanical demands of this region, combined with challenging pathologies such a...

Elderly patients with unstable ankle fractures face a high risk of wound and implant-related complications after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Less invasive intramedullary fibular nail (FN) fixation may reduce soft-tissue trauma and enable earlier mobilization.
