In the rehabilitation of a person seeking care for pain associated with the musculoskeletal system, two questions are important: The first; is improvement in muscular strength important for recovery, and the second, should we be measuring it clinically? We wish to debate these questions with referen...

Behind the technical success of modern ACL surgeries and the effectiveness of “return to sport” protocols lies a reality that the worlds of sports and medicine are only just starting to face: the management of the initial ACL injury with return to sport is not the finish line, but the beginning ...

Quadriceps and hamstring dysfunction is well-documented in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). While strength deficits are often studied, changes in muscle flexibility and their influence on postoperative recovery remain less understood. This study aime...

Implant selection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains a critical yet variable aspect of surgical decision-making, associated with both patient characteristics and surgeon-related factors. With the increasing integration of surgical innovations such as robotic-assisted techniques, unders...

Hip preservation surgery (HPS) is increasingly performed in young and active patients with the aim of delaying or avoiding total hip arthroplasty (THA). Despite advances in preservation techniques, a proportion of patients eventually progress to end-stage hip disease and require conversion to THA. P...

Significant increases in use of THA and TKA are expected in the United States in the future, if the current trend continues. The increased use is evident across age groups in both females and males. A policy change may be needed to meet increased demand

The ligamentum teres (LT) is frequently found injured during hip arthroscopy in young, active patients, yet its functional relevance remains uncertain. Although not a primary stabilizer, the LT may contribute to intra-articular pain through nociceptive and proprioceptive mechanisms.

The impact of arthroscopic hip surgery on urinary incontinence (UI) and other pelvic floor disorders (PFDs), such as faecal incontinence (FI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP), has been understudied, despite the high prevalence of PFDs in women. The purpose of this prospective, single-centre cohort st...

Oral steroids, or corticosteroids taken by mouth, are prescription anti-inflammatory medications that have been commonly prescribed for various orthopedic conditions, including low back and neck pain. While these drugs can reduce pain and inflammation, they also have potential serious side effects t...

Bone density-the thickness and strength of bones-declines with age, and osteoporosis can increase the risk of fractures and falls. But do you really need to get scanned before reaching your 60s? Here’s what experts think.
