Metatarsalgia can be viewed as more of a symptom rather than a distinct diagnosis. Timing of forefoot pain during the gait cycle and evaluation of whether the pain is from anatomic abnormalities, indirect overloading, or iatrogenic causes can suggest a specific metatarsalgia etiology.

We assessed the pattern of relapse as well as the correlation between the number of casts required for correction and Pirani and Dimeglio scores at presentation, and age at presentation. We hypothesized that the Ponseti method would be effective in treatment of relapsed clubfoot as well.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and ultrasound-guided percutaneous tenotomy (Tenex) for the treatment of medial or lateral epicondylitis.

Distal humerus fractures, which are challenging injuries seen in geriatric patients, are often repaired using open reduction and internal fixation or total elbow arthroplasty.

Dr. Timothy Reish and Dr. Hunter Hamilton comment on a recently published study on revision of failed hemiarthroplasty to anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty, making the case that hemiarthroplasty may actually be more beneficial than shoulder replacement as the first surgery in a younger patient po...

Shoulder instability affects about 2% of the population, primarily as anterior shoulder instability caused by traumatic injury. Recurrent instability depends on age and activity level, with young individuals, males, and individuals who participate in contact sports at higher risk for recurrence.

A study recently published online by JAMA Surgery reports that the use of aspirin may be just as effective as the use of newer, more expensive anticoa...

Patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) who walk at a moderate-to-vigorous intensity may delay their need for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), according to new research findings presented at the 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting.

The aims of this study were to review the surgical technique for a combined femoral head reduction osteotomy (FHRO) and periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), and to report the short-term clinical and radiological results of a combined FHRO/PAO for the treatment of selected severe femoral head deformities.

Between 8% and 11% of patients who undergo open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for a hip fracture are subsequently converted to a total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to complications of the screw fixation.
