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.
Tips for healing a sprained ankle fast
Sprained ankles can be very painful, and severe sprains can require months of recovery. However, a person can take several steps at home to help speed their healing and reduce the risk of re-injury.
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.
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy Diagnosis, Nonsurgical Medical Care, and Rehabilitation: A Clinical Practice Guideline
This evidence-based clinical practice guideline (CPG) aims to guide clinicians with recommendations covering the assessment, treatment, and prognosis of adults with shoulder pain with suspected rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy, the nonsurgical medical care and rehabilitation of adults with RC tendinopathy, as well as the return to function and sport for elite and recreational athletes.
Understanding the Causes of Knee Pain on the Outer (Lateral) Part of Your Knee
An injury or arthritis most likely causes pain outside the knee. A doctor can determine the cause based on your other symptoms and the results of imaging tests.
Normal Hip Range of Motion
Range of motion (ROM) is a measurement of the distance and direction a joint can move to its full potential. Hip ROM is dictated by the ball-and-socket hip joint, which is made up of the femur (thighbone) and pelvis. They fit together in a way that allows for fluid, repeated motion - and a fair amount of wear and tear - but the joint isn’t indestructible.
What is an intercostal muscle strain?
Intercostal muscle strain is an injury affecting the muscles between two or more ribs. Symptoms can include sharp, direct pain, stiffness, and mobility difficulties.
Trends and Insights in Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Comprehensive Bibliometric Analysis
Total hip arthroplasty (THA), a commonly performed surgical procedure for management of end-stage osteoarthritis, is considered minimally invasive and the popularity of the direct anterior approach (DAA) is increasing. The objective of this study is to analyze the current literature on DAA THA through conduct of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis.
Excellent results of restricted kinematic alignment total knee arthroplasty at a minimum of 10 years of follow‐up
While restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with cemented implants has been shown to provide a similar survivorship rate to mechanical alignment (MA) in the short term, no studies have reported on the long‐term survivorship and function.
