It is hypothesized that radial head excision causes bone density changes as a result of asymmetric stress distributions, consequently leading to osteophyte formation. In this study, we sought to quantitatively compare the 3-dimensional bone density and stress distributions between operative and non-...

Continuous passive motion may result in a greater range of motion and faster recovery compared with physical therapy for some patients after arthroscopic release of elbow contractures, according to a presented study.

Campbell Clinic Orthopaedics has gifted the AAOS Shoulder & Elbow Registry (SER) its Shoulder Arthroplasty Predictive (SHARP) Model, a tool designed to help surgeons predict postoperative shoulder arthroplasty outcomes.

According to the findings of new study presented at the ACR Convergence 2020, the annual meeting of the American College of Rheumatology: Patients with knee OA who had corticosteroid injections did not show faster progression of OA or of needing TKA than patients who had hyaluronic acid injections, ...

In a study from the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center in Detroit, veterans who received acupuncture treatment before undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) reported less postoperative pain and need far fewer opioids than veterans in the control group who did not receive acupuncture.

Researchers from NYU Langone Health compared fall rates in nearly 500,000 patients with hip and knee OA in the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) New York database and found in those who underwent a total hip or total knee arthroplasty between 2000 and 2015 had a significant...

The purpose of this study was to systematically review the methodology, response rate and quality of survey studies related to femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome.

The periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is an extensive surgical procedure associated with potential risk to the adjacent neurovascular structures. A steep learning curve exists, with surgeon experience an important factor in outcome. Little detail exists of the osteotomies themselves, and how to make th...
