Chondromalacia Exercises to Relieve Knee Pain
Chondromalacia patella, often called runner's knee, happens when cartilage under the kneecap deteriorates. Exercises that strengthen leg muscles and improve flexibility can help relieve the pain associated with this condition.
Surgeon decision-making and implant selection in primary total knee arthroplasty: association of training, experience, and robotic-assisted surgical innovation with implant selection
Implant selection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains a critical yet variable aspect of surgical decision-making, associated with both patient characteristics and surgeon-related factors. With the increasing integration of surgical innovations such as robotic-assisted techniques, understanding contemporary determinants of implant choice has become essential. This study aimed to evaluate implant selection patterns and identify independent factors associated with the use of cruciate-retaining (CR) vs. posterior-stabilized (PS) implants in a modern clinical setting.
Rates of Total Joint Replacement in the United States: Future Projections to 2020 2040 Using the National Inpatient Sample
We used the 2000-2014 US National Inpatient Sample (NIS) combined with Census Bureau data to develop projections for primary THA and TKA from 2020 to 2040 using polynomial regression to account for the nonlinearity and interactions between the variables, assuming the underlying distribution of the number of THA/TKA to be Poisson distributed. We performed sensitivity analyses using a negative binomial regression to account for overdispersion.
Exercises to Help With Hip Tendonitis
Exercises for hip tendonitis focus on reducing pain and enhancing mobility by strengthening the hip flexors. These targeted movements help prevent future irritation and improve overall hip function.
