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.
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.
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.
Hip Fracture Types and Complications
A hip fracture, also called a broken hip, is a common injury. In the United States, hip fractures are the most common broken bone that requires hospitalization; about 300,000 Americans are hospitalized for a hip fracture every year.
