Total ankle arthroplasty has emerged as a treatment to successfully treat ankle arthritis. Recent studies have reported more than 40 000 total ankle arthroplasties (TAAs) being performed between 2009 and 2019 in the United States. Although recent studies have reported favorable patient-reported outc...

The pathomechanism of anterolateral ankle impingement (ALAI) due to the distal fascicle of the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (DF-AITFL) has not been fully elucidated. In addition, because of its rarity, no definitive diagnostic criteria have been established for ALAI due to DF-AITFL.

The ulnar nerve s unique anatomy makes it vulnerable to complex elbow dislocations. Depending on the nature of the injury, the clinical treatment and ...

Outcomes of interposition arthroplasty for treatment of elbow arthritis are highly dependent on elbow stability. The purpose of this study was to determine whether interposition arthroplasty with a novel bidirectional ligament reconstruction technique could adequately restore the static stability of...

Patients using testosterone replacement therapy for at least 3 months may have an increased risk for ACL injuries, according to recently published data.

Published results showed a single preoperative IV dose of 8 mg of dexamethasone may improve patient outcomes for pain, vomiting, inflammation and mobility after total knee arthroplasty compared with placebo.

Impaired hip abductor muscle strength indirectly leads to changes in knee kinematics and may cause pain or functional limitations after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to evaluate and quantify hip abductor muscle strength deficits after TKA and investigate external factors influencin...

Published results showed robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty may provide significantly greater accuracy in acetabular component positioning compared with manual THA in patients with overweight or obesity.

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a surgical treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). This systematic review investigates the impact PAO has on sexual function and pregnancy through changes in patient-reported outcomes.

Preoperative radiographic measurements may help predict which patients with hip labral tears ultimately undergo repair versus primary reconstruction. This study investigated if radiographic parameters: (i) preoperatively predict labral repair versus reconstruction and (ii) correlate with T2 magnetic...
