Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder, typically characterized by calcium deposits on the rotator cuff, is an extremely painful condition that can severely impair movement and life quality. A new study appearing in today's issue of the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, found a significant inc...

A team from the Centre for Automation and Robotics (CAR, UPM-CSIC) has developed a robotic exoskeleton for efficient rehabilitation therapies for patients with shoulder injuries. By using strength and motion sensors, the system assesses the degree of an injury and its evolution as the treatment prog...

Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a virtual reality system for motor rehabilitation of the shoulder. The prototype, which includes a built-in movement sensor, allows the user to do controlled exercises as part of a football game.

This study reported the outcomes of patients treated with the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing System (Smith & Nephew, Memphis, Tennessee) to identify the prevalence of complications and failures. A retrospective review of 202 patients (206 hips) was performed.

The longer a hip fracture patient stays in a hospital, the more likely that patient will die within 30 days of leaving, according to a study led by Stephen Kates, M.D., chair of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine.

Corin announced it has received FDA 510(k) approval for an additional range of stem options for its MetaFix hip stem system.

Severity of illness, route of readmission and patient insurance effect the hospital costs overall for readmission within 90 after total hip arthroplasty, according to study results.

Treatment of acute rupture of the Achilles tendon is the frequent subject of investigation and innovation. The orthopaedic literature is replete with evaluations and reports of novel suture techniques, new surgical approaches, implants for both placing and holding suture, and various rehabilitation ...

Background: This prospective randomized trial with a mean fourteen-year follow-up compared simple end-to-end repair with fascial flap-augmented repair for acute Achilles tendon ruptures.

Purpose To evaluate the results of elbow arthroscopic osteocapsular arthroplasty (AOA) and determine which factors influence the outcome in a large group of patients with primary osteoarthritis.
