  • Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Under 30 Years Who Have Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: Mean Follow-Up of More than 120 Months

    Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) primarily affects young adults, leading to femoral head collapse and secondary osteoarthritis. Treatments include joint-preserving surgery, which has been performed preferentially, especially for young adults, and joint arthroplasty, i.e., total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although advancements in implant materials have markedly improved performance, there are few data regarding implant survival and clinical outcomes in younger patients. This study aimed to assess long-term implant survival of more than 120 months and clinical outcomes in young ONFH patients undergoing primary THA.

  • How tennis takes a toll: The leg and foot injuries players need to watch out for

    Tennis demands explosive movement like lunges, pivots, sprints and sudden stops. Every serve starts with a push from the toes. Every rally shifts weight between the heel and forefoot. Unlike sports with linear movement, like sprinting, tennis places constant multi-directional stress on the feet and ankles—two of the most frequently injured body parts in the game.

  • Medial Meniscus Root Tears: Management With Single-Tunnel Repair and Meniscus Centralization

    Meniscus root tears (MRTs) are radial tears located near the anterior or posterior meniscotibial attachment, which are often underdiagnosed and associated with accelerated knee osteoarthritis (OA). Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs), frequently observed in middle-aged women, lead to altered knee biomechanics and joint degeneration if untreated. While historically managed with meniscectomy, the modern approach emphasizes arthroscopic repair to restore joint stability and delay OA progression.

  • Are Topical Anti-Inflammatory Creams Worth the Rub?

    Chronic pain and inflammation can really take a toll on your physical and mental health. Oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®) can help reduce pain and inflammation. But they also carry certain risks for cardiovascular and kidney issues, stroke, bleeding and ulcers when you take them for extended periods of time. Fortunately, there are topical anti-inflammatory creams that offer the same amount of relief with significantly reduced risks.

  • Determining the Need for Surgery When You Feel Better Post-ACL Tear

    Without surgery, athletes with an ACL tear may have recurring problems with knee instability. Athletes with a torn ACL often feel like their knee is "giving way" or buckling, especially when playing sports that require cutting or pivoting maneuvers, such as soccer, basketball, or football. But does everyone who tears their ACL need surgery, and can your anterior cruciate ligament heal on its own once it has been torn?
