What to know about knee stiffness
A stiff knee is a common complaint, especially among older adults and those who are very physically active. Knee stiffness can occur due to low flexibility or muscular imbalances in the legs, injury, or arthritis. The most suitable treatment for knee stiffness depends on the underlying cause.
How Glenoid Fractures Are Treated
A glenoid fracture is a fracture of the socket of the glenohumeral joint. This is the ball-and-socket joint in your shoulder that allows you to rotate your arm or move it up and down and side to side. A glenoid fracture is uncommon and usually only occurs as a result of a high-impact injury.
Clinical Implications of Post-operative Haemoglobin Levels in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
Current trends towards minimally invasive surgery and enhanced recovery encourage patients to mobilise and be discharged on the same day following total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). The aim was to evaluate the value of current practice in measuring day 1 postoperative haemoglobin levels and stratify patient groups for whom this may be useful.
8 Tips for Healthy Bones
It’s a fact of life: As you age, your bones become thinner and lose their density. Fortunately, you can take steps early on to strengthen your bone health and prevent osteopenia (bone thinning) and osteoporosis (late-stage bone loss). Bone health starts with proper nutrition, exercise and healthy lifestyle choices.
Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Under 30 Years Who Have Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: Mean Follow-Up of More than 120 Months
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) primarily affects young adults, leading to femoral head collapse and secondary osteoarthritis. Treatments include joint-preserving surgery, which has been performed preferentially, especially for young adults, and joint arthroplasty, i.e., total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although advancements in implant materials have markedly improved performance, there are few data regarding implant survival and clinical outcomes in younger patients. This study aimed to assess long-term implant survival of more than 120 months and clinical outcomes in young ONFH patients undergoing primary THA.
