Hip resurfacing may be an acceptable alternative to hip arthroplasty for hip osteoarthritis, with positive outcomes at 2-year follow-up.

For older adults undergoing hemiarthroplasty for hip fracture, intraoperative use of liposomal bupivacaine does not improve pain scores or other relevant outcomes, compared to conventional bupivacaine, reports a study in Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.

Muscle activation in people suffering from hip osteoarthritis might be a case of "mind over matter," new research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has shown.

Early surgery is associated with lower risks of death and perioperative complication rates, but with emergency department waiting times currently lengthening across the UK and elsewhere, it's highly likely that hip fracture surgery may end up being delayed, they add.

Researchers at Uppsala University have developed a clinical model that can accurately predict the risk of hip fractures in the elderly. The model is based on analyses of data from the entire Swedish population and can identify patients at high risk, without the need to measure skeletal strength.

Total hip replacement results in superior reduction in hip pain and improved hip function at six months compared with resistance training among patients aged 50 years or older with severe hip osteoarthritis and an indication for surgery, according to a study published in the Oct. 31 issue of the New...

Buttock pain can have several causes, including injuries, overuse conditions, and nerve compression. Because buttock pain can significantly impact your ability to sit, stand, or walk, it is important to determine the underlying cause, receive appropriate treatment, and prevent your condition from ge...

Knee injuries are among the more common injuries sustained from sports and recreational activities. Even though many knee injuries are caused by internal issues (inside the knee), strengthening the muscles on the outside of the knee can prevent injury and enhance healing.

People may not hop backward often, but a new study shows that having people hop backward on one leg can be a better way of measuring strength and recovery in the knee, as well as other joints and muscles in the leg following ACL reconstruction surgery.
