Metformin Reduces Knee Pain in Knee Osteoarthritis With Overweight, Obesity
Metformin was associated with significant improvements in knee pain, stiffness, and function among patients with knee osteoarthritis and overweight or obesity.
Using testosterone gel to treat women recovering from hip fractures provides no added benefits, clinical trial finds
Hip fractures, often a result of a fall, are the most serious type of osteoporotic fracture because they are accompanied by considerable pain, loss of muscle and bone strength, reduced mobility and independence with daily activities, and increased risk for future fractures and death. More than 200,000 American women every year experience hip fractures, and up to three-quarters of them never fully regain their ability to resume normal activities like walking, even after undergoing weeks of exercise rehabilitation.
Retrospective Review of Outcomes of Total Hip Arthroplasty in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip in Adults
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a major cause of hip arthritis in young adults. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective treatment for DDH, but few studies have examined mid- (5 to 10 years) to long-term (>10 years) outcomes. This study reports the long-term survivorship, clinical, and radiographic outcomes of THA in DDH patients.
Intraarticular leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma injection is more effective than intraarticular hyaluronic acid injection in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials
We aim to compare the clinical effects of intraarticular leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (LP-PRP) injection with those of intraarticular hyaluronic acid (HA) injection in adult patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Outcomes and challenges in the surgical treatment of trans-olecranon fracture-dislocations: A case series study
Transolecranon fracture-dislocations represent a complex subset of elbow injuries characterized by concomitant fractures of the olecranon, coronoid process, and radial head, often associated with posterior dislocation. These injuries pose significant surgical challenges due to their inherent instability and high risk of poor functional outcomes. Despite previous studies describing different fixation techniques, there is no standardized surgical protocol to optimize outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and functional results of a structured surgical approach in the management of these injuries.
