New research released last week suggests that sex matters when it comes to surgery. Researchers examined the sex of the surgeon and the sex of the patient in over a million surgeries and found that female patients with male doctors fared slightly worse than any other combination. The reason for the disparity likely comes down to communication and relationship-building.

The shoulder is the joint most often affected by dislocations. It is known that bony defects of the glenoid and/or humerus can lead to recurrent dislocations even after arthroscopic shoulder stabilization. To prevent recurrent instability, it appears reasonable to reduce fresh and larger Hill-Sachs ...

In the United States, the use of total shoulder arthroplasty has grown significantly over the past decade, leading to an increased need for revision total shoulder arthroplasty. The most common causes for revision include instability, rotator cuff deficiency, infection, fractures, and component loos...

The emergence of nanobiotechnology has opened a new direction in immunomodulatory nanomedicine, providing encouraging prospects for tissue regeneration and restoration.

Cartilage tissue engineering holds huge promise for joint defects and osteoarthritis (OA) conditions which otherwise have limited treatment options due to cartilage's inherent inability to self-repair.

Osteochondritis dissecans is a rare condition characterized by the deterioration of a small area of bone and cartilage without infection.

Cartilage repair with a hyaluronic acid-based scaffold and bone marrow aspirate concentrate may yield positive long-term outcomes.

To test the platform, the team set out to fabricate cartilage tissue. They created a one-cubic centimeter structure, containing approximately 600 spheroids made of cells capable of forming cartilage.

The purpose of this systematic review was to compare patient populations and outcomes in studies treating borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) with either hip arthroscopy or periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). We hypothesized that studies would show significant postoperative improvement following both PAO and...

Hip Arthroscopy and Periacetabular Osteotomy in Patients 45 Years and Older Have Similar Outcomes to a Younger Cohort: Articular Cartilage Status Is the Primary Determinant of Outcome Abstract: Staged or combined hip arthroscopy/periacetabular osteotomy has typically been reserved for the younger pa...

Physicians caring for athletes must provide accurate prognoses for return to sport (RTS). Regarding hip arthroscopy, the number of athletes being indi...
