Various orthopaedic biologics (orthobiologics) have been investigated for the treatment of pathology involving the elbow and upper extremity including the tendons (lateral epicondylitis, medial epicondylitis, biceps tendonitis, triceps tendonitis), articular cartilage (osteoarthritis, osteochondral ...

Is  killing the biceps during rotator cuff repair a capital crime or a lawful act? One of the most passionately debated topics in shoulder surgery is...

Recently, for cases that fall between the need of arthroscopic repair and open procedures, surgeons have developed methods for using soft tissue graft...

The management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries continually evolves with new interest in all-sort tissue quadriceps tendon autograft, and new interest in suture tape augmentation of the graft, particularly in high-risk patients with young age; female sex; lower limb alignment, tibial, or...

Minimum clinically important difference (MCID) values are commonly used to measure treatment success for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MCID values vary according to calculation methodology, and prior studies have shown that patient factors are associated with failure to achieve MCID thresholds. The...

There are conflicting reports in the literature regarding the risk of revision after primary total knee replacement (TKR) in obese patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate if body mass index (BMI) influences the risk of revision 3-9 years after primary TKR.

The direct anterior approach (DAA) has been increasing in popularity for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Despite previously documented anatomic limitations to its direct distal extension, alternative exposure methods have been described to safely access the femoral diaphysis and facilitate inc...

We aimed to evaluate the association between inflammation-based prognostic markers and mortality after hip replacement. From March 2010 to June 2020, we identified 5,369 consecutive adult patients undergoing hip replacement with C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, and complete blood count measured wi...

This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using ultrasound for monitoring osteochondroplasty intraoperatively, determine the factors that interfere with ultrasound imaging and assess its influence on surgeon performance.

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a surgical procedure that corrects acetabular dysplasia without necessarily addressing intra-articular pathology. Hip arthroscopy is being increasingly used to address soft tissue pathologies at the time of a PAO.
