Orthopedics

When compared with total knee arthroplasty, unicompartmental arthroplasty allows for shorter recovery time in patients based on two key measures of physical function.

Adhesive capsulitis, known as “frozen shoulder,” has a strong association with specific gene variants

Pain management is important in the recovery of patients undergoing a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The researchers examined a new method during surgery to improve pain management in these patients.

The researchers evaluated the postoperative clinical outcomes and complications of TKA with and without the use of a tourniquet during surgery.

Researchers compared the use of a tourniquet vs tranexamic acid on individuals undergoing a total knee arthroplasty on the prevention of significant blood loss and the need for a blood transfusion.

The American College of Rheumatology and the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons have updated their recommendations on perioperative medication use for hip and knee arthroplasties in specific...

Injuries because of falls remain one of the biggest health concerns for geriatric populations. To better understand the incidence, trends, and variations in fall injuries among older adults within the...

Because the association between influenza and the risk of fractures and fall injuries among older adults is unclear, a team of researchers assessed this relationship. Their results were presented in...

There has been scant study of outcomes related to surgery among patients with vertebral osteomyelitis, though the condition often causes chronic pain and functional limitations. Researchers investigated...

Researchers investigated whether neuromuscular electrical stimulation could help patients who have undergone total knee arthroplasty regain muscle and strength more quickly after surgery.
