Hip replacement is a major, arduous elective surgery, and rehabilitation afterwards takes time, according to an expert from Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore.

An international team of medical researchers has developed a protein-based risk score for hip fracture using an aptamer-based proteomic platform. In their study, published in the journal Nature Aging, the group analyzed data from the Cardiovascular Health Study and used their findings to develop the...

A new study by investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham health care system, looked at hip fracture treatment outcomes in patients with dementia to see how they did when treated surgically versus non-surgically to help inform health care d...

Older women with low bone density are more likely to experience their first hip fracture in their 60s compared to older ages, according to research being presented Sunday at ENDO 2024, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in Boston, Mass.

An acetabular fracture occurs when the socket of the hip joint is broken. This is much less common than most hip fractures, where the top of the thigh bone is damaged, not the socket.

Finding the right treatment to relieve hip pain often depends on what's causing it. Conservative measures like pain relievers and home remedies can be used for a sudden, isolated injury. Physical therapy, injections, and surgery may be needed for more chronic or complicated causes of hip pai...

Iliopsoas bursitis, also called hip bursitis, is inflammation of the iliopsoas bursa. This bursa is a large fluid-filled sac found under the iliopsoas muscle, which supports hip movement. The iliopsoas bursa provides cushion for tendons, ligaments, and muscles to prevent friction during movement.

Pain in your hip can be caused by hip bursitis. Hip bursitis is when the small fluid-filled sacs (bursa) on the outside or inner part of your hip get inflamed. Hip bursitis causes pain, decreased strength, and trouble with movements like walking or running.1 Hip bursitis can be recurrent, especially...

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) represent the central pivot of the knee. The balance between these two ligaments impacts the tibiofemoral biomechanics. Each structure is the opposite of the other in terms of anteroposterior translation and rotation. The aim...

The knee joint assessment to detect anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury after trauma involves clinical examination and radiography. The gold standard method is doing arthroscopy. We did this study seeking to evaluate the effectiveness of other non-invasive diagnostic methods, including the Anter...
