Hip Replacement Dislocation
Among the most frequently seen complications of hip replacement surgery is dislocation of the hip replacement. Hip replacement dislocations occur in about 4% of first-time surgeries and about 15% of revision hip replacements. This complication is uncommon, but it does occur—sometimes in unforeseen circumstances.
Determining the Need for Surgery When You Feel Better Post-ACL Tear
Without surgery, athletes with an ACL tear may have recurring problems with knee instability. Athletes with a torn ACL often feel like their knee is "giving way" or buckling, especially when playing sports that require cutting or pivoting maneuvers, such as soccer, basketball, or football. But does everyone who tears their ACL need surgery, and can your anterior cruciate ligament heal on its own once it has been torn?
Retrospective Review of Outcomes of Total Hip Arthroplasty in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip in Adults
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a major cause of hip arthritis in young adults. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective treatment for DDH, but few studies have examined mid- (5 to 10 years) to long-term (>10 years) outcomes. This study reports the long-term survivorship, clinical, and radiographic outcomes of THA in DDH patients.
Intraarticular leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma injection is more effective than intraarticular hyaluronic acid injection in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials
We aim to compare the clinical effects of intraarticular leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (LP-PRP) injection with those of intraarticular hyaluronic acid (HA) injection in adult patients with knee osteoarthritis.
