A majority of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction patients develop a condition known as posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) within 15 years of surgery, which can be debilitating and limit activity. Researchers are now highlighting how a set of biomarkers on the day of surgery may explain...

Among patients with knee osteoarthritis, an injection of a corticosteroid every three months over two years resulted in significantly greater cartilage volume loss and no significant difference in knee pain compared to patients who received a placebo injection, according to a study.

Despite the frequency of torn ACLs, many people don't know that the injury results in a significant risk of developing arthritis

Overweight and obese people who lost a substantial amount of weight over a 48-month period showed significantly lower degeneration of their knee cartilage, according to a new study published online in the journal Radiology.

A new study using data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative, a multi-center observational study of nearly 3500 participants, indicates that people who hear grating, cracking, or popping sounds in or around their knee joint may be at increased risk of developing knee osteoarthritis.

Whether you're younger than 65 or older than 75, age may not be a discernible factor in the success of shoulder replacement surgery, according to a new study.

A new study found that 96.4 percent of recreational athletes, age 55 and younger, who underwent total shoulder replacement surgery returned to at least one sport, on average, within seven months of surgery.

The present study was undertaken to explore the relationship between subjective and observer-independent objective measures of shoulder function. We specifically sought to answer 3 questions: How does subjective patient assessment of shoulder function correlate with objectively measured active shoul...

We retrospectively reviewed all articles published from 2006 to 2015 that had been found in searches of the MEDLINE, Embase, and Ovid databases and ha...

Recently published results of a level 3 study showed patients who underwent outpatient and inpatient total shoulder arthroplasty had no significant differences in 30-day adverse event and readmission rates.
