Total ankle replacement and ankle fusion for patients with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis had similar clinical outcome scores at 52 weeks after surgery, according to published results.

A Corresponding Point Measurement System Provides Reliable Measurement of Displacement for Medial Epicondyle Fractures

Results presented at the American Society for Surgery of the Hand Annual Meeting showed conservative treatment may lead to resolution of olecranon bursitis without complications, infections, atrophy, skin depigmentation or surgery.

The objective of this study was to determine the survivorship of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and reverse TSA (rTSA) over a medium-term follow-up in a large population-based sample and to identify potential risk factors for revision surgery.

Risk of revision I&D was markedly lower after arthroscopic I&D compared with open, although the protective benefit was limited to patients aged 65 years or older. Arthroscopy was also associated with decreased costs, length of stay, and complications. Although surgeons must consider specific...

Distal femoral deformities can be corrected acutely, without applying external fixators, with good preoperative planning and using the retrograde femoral nail. This technique is safe and effective, with a low complication rate.

Medial pivot (MP) designs are growing in popularity. They provide increased sagittal plane stability and theoretically replicate some aspects of native joint kinematics, which may improve total knee arthroplasty outcomes.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the highest volume elective procedures done nationwide. Elective surgery was suspended because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The utilization trends, comparison of patient demographics, and postoperative outcomes in 2020 have yet to be evaluated substantially. We c...

While total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common and successful orthopedic surgeries, some patients may experience persistent, recurrent, or new hip pain despite successful THA. Dry needling (DN) is a common treatment for musculoskeletal pain, yet little data has been published on the us...

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons released an update to the clinical practice guidelines for management of hip fractures in adults aged 55 years and older.
