According to Enovis the STAR Ankle is the first and only mobile bearing ankle system with e+ Polyethylene in the U.S. Blending vitamin E into the impl...

Surgical intervention for lateral epicondylitis remains a controversial topic, with its purpose being debated. Recent guidelines have concluded no benefit from surgery when compared to conservative management.

According to results from a randomized controlled trial of patients with radial head fractures, headless screws yielded better range of motion with fewer complications compared with miniplates, despite similar union rates.

Treatment options for large and massive rotator cuff tears, in the setting of failed conservative treatment, include debridement, isolated biceps tenotomy or tenodesis, primary repair, partial repair, subacromial spacer, superior capsular reconstruction, biologic tuberoplasty, bridging reconstructio...

In theory, extrinsic anterolateral acromial impingement of the rotator cuff can contribute to cuff tearing. Thus, acromioplasty may be performed concomitantly with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). A review of recent randomized controlled trials confirms that patient long-term outcomes after ...

ACL primary repair literature does not convincingly show non-inferiority to the gold-standard of ACL reconstruction using a graft. Primary repair has narrow indications, typically Sherman Type I tear pattern representing femoral avulsion good tissue quality. In addition, recent research shows greate...

To evaluate the short and long term effects of intra-articular injection of PRP on pain and functional status of the knee joint as measured by the Lysholm questionnaire and visual analogic pain scale (VAS).

While risks exist with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and survivorship is not indefinite, delaying surgery may lead to further deterioration of the knee joint, functional outcomes, and health status. Most studies report that patients with high-grade osteoarthritis (OA) scores have higher satisfaction...

In the UK, hip fractures are a common reason for presentations to the emergency departments, which places significant pressure on NHS hospitals, appro...

Soft tissue management in total hip arthroplasty (THA) includes appropriate restoration and/or alteration of leg length and offset to re-establish natural hip biomechanics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of leg length and offset-derived variables in a multivariable survival mod...
