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.
The Femoral Head Edema Zone: A Novel Classification Scheme to Better Predict Osteonecrosis Progression
This study proposed a new classification, the Edema Zone classification, that uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images to grade the extent of edema in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The purpose of the study was 1) to examine how the Edema Zone classification compared to the Japanese Investigation Committee (JIC) classification’s prognostic ability for early conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA), and 2) to determine how accurately and reliably the Edema Zone classification performed as a classification system.
Total hip arthroplasty versus hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture: an overview of systematic reviews total hip arthroplasty versus hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture: an overview of systematic reviews
Hip arthroplasties for the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in adults can be total replacement or hemiarthroplasty. Despite the large number of studies on the topic, the best choice of arthroplasty to be used remains unclear.
Total Knee Arthroplasty After a Previous Patellectomy: A Case Report With a Six-Month Follow-Up and a Review of the Literature
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a widely performed surgical intervention for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. However, various patient-specific factors altering the biomechanics can influence the surgical technique and the postoperative outcomes. In this case report, a patient is presented who was admitted to our hospital with chronic left knee pain caused by osteoarthritis, with a history of patellectomy after a traumatic event 35 years ago.
