Dual mobility components for THA may be justified in high-risk patients
Dual mobility components in total hip arthroplasty are a proven concept that decrease dislocation rates in patients at high risk for instability
Bottom-of-Foot Pain: Why It Hurts and How to Treat It
When the bottom of your foot hurts when you walk, it can be caused by many things, from ill-fitting shoes to activities like long-distance running or walking. For jobs that require long hours on your feet, bottom-of-the-foot pain is an occupational hazard.
Research supports run–walk interval training as a way to reduce chronic low back pain
A study conducted at Monash University, Australia, has demonstrated that a progressive run–walk interval training program, delivered digitally and supported remotely, is not only effective in reducing pain and disability in adults with chronic low back pain (LBP) but is also safe and acceptable for participants.
Surgical Management of Lateral Epicondylitis: A Scoping Review of Published Literature
Surgical intervention for lateral epicondylitis remains a controversial topic, with its purpose being debated. Recent guidelines have concluded no benefit from surgery when compared to conservative management.
Long-term, clinical outcome of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair may be improved with concomitant acromioplasty in patients with a Type III acromion
In theory, extrinsic anterolateral acromial impingement of the rotator cuff can contribute to cuff tearing. Thus, acromioplasty may be performed concomitantly with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). A review of recent randomized controlled trials confirms that patient long-term outcomes after ARCR is superior when acromioplasty is performed, when compared to no concomitant acromioplasty, while complication and retear rates are similar.
