Researchers develop new test for early osteoarthritis diagnosis
Diagnosing osteoarthritis often occurs in the late stages when cartilage degradation is severe, making it difficult to distinguish it from other types of arthritis and to determine the best treatment plan. In work published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research, investigators have developed and tested a new diagnostic test that uses two markers found in the synovial fluid of patients' joints.
ACL Tear and MCL Tear: Key Differences and Treatment Options for Individual and Combined Injuries
The ACL is in the middle of the knee joint and is an intra-articular ligament. This is important to understand because, in general, extra-articular ligaments (MCL) can heal sometimes on their own without surgery, while intra-articular ligaments (ACL) cannot.
Computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation may show benefits vs. robotic-assisted THA
Computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation for total hip arthroplasty yielded decreased OR times and hospital costs vs. robotic-assisted surgery.
Factors associated with poor hip flexion range of motion after total hip arthroplasty in patients with ankylosing spondylitis: a retrospective study on 538 consecutive hips
This study aimed to report the mid-term functional outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of advanced hip involvement in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and identify the factors associated with poor hip flexion range of motion (ROM) after THA in patients with AS.
Advances in perioperative pain management for total knee arthroplasty: a review of multimodal analgesic approaches
Despite significant advancements in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), managing postoperative pain remains a substantial clinical challenge. With advances in surgical techniques and pharmacology, TKA perioperative analgesic strategies continue to evolve, necessitating ongoing reassessment of current data. Multimodal analgesia has become the standard for perioperative pain management in TKA; however, variations in its specific components and applications across studies create challenges in selecting the optimal analgesic approach.
