New technology, cost strategies continue to move robotic-assisted surgery forward
The combination of robotics and patient-specific instrumentation may create a parallel strategy for care. Vendor programs and care pathways may curb the cost of robotic-assisted surgery.
Aerobic exercise found to be most effective for knee osteoarthritis
For patients with knee osteoarthritis, aerobic activities such as walking, cycling, or swimming are likely to be the best exercise for improving pain, function, gait performance, and quality of life, finds a study published by The BMJ today.
Hip Weakness May Contribute to Knee Pain
If you have knee pain or other knee problems, your physical therapist may pay close attention to your hips and the strength of your hip muscles. Why? Because your hip muscles, like the gluteus medius, control the position of your knees when you are walking, running, or jumping.
Innovative imaging techniques show what happens inside bones during hip replacement surgery
Uncemented hip replacement surgery uses implants with roughened surfaces designed to allow the patient's bone to grow directly onto the implant, creating a strong, natural biological bond. Unlike cemented implants, which rely on bone cement that can degrade and fracture, uncemented implants depend on this natural bone integration for long-term stability.
Successful management of PJI occurred in about 50% of patients
Results presented at the Musculoskeletal Infection Society Annual Meeting showed successful management of periprosthetic joint infection occurred in a little more than half of cases after total joint arthroplasty.
