Compared with Lyme disease, septic arthritis was identified in pediatric patients younger than 2 years who have pain with short arc motion, C-reactive protein levels of greater than 4 mg/L and a patient-reported history of fever, according to results.

Patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty and received both IV and intra-articular administration of tranexamic acid had a clinically relevant 37% reduction in blood loss at 24 hours and 48 hours postoperatively compared with patients who received only intravenous administration of tranexamic a...

Recently published results showed the most common causes of failure in medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty included aseptic loosening and osteoarthritis progression.

Recently published results showed large variation in the rotational plane for both femoral and tibial components during 3-D unicompartmental knee arthroplasty component alignment analysis in the standing position, suggesting the importance of component positioning.

According to the Arthritis Foundation, over 50 million Americans have arthritis. The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis, which is a degenerative joint disease. Though it can occur in younger people, it often affects people 50 years of age and older.
