10 Strengthening Exercises for Hip Bursitis
Previously, researchers thought that hip bursitis was the primary cause of lateral or side hip pain. Now, experts know that greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a more accurate explanation. GTPS includes injury or wear and tear of the gluteal muscle tendons (tendinopathy), which may cause hip pain that worsens with movement.
Muscle tissue changes could be driving sex-based injury risk, say physiologists
Differences in the way muscles respond to stress could help explain why certain sports injuries are more common in women compared to men, and vice versa, new research suggests.
Skeletal immaturity may protect against arthrofibrosis after ACL reconstruction
Results showed 3.9% of pediatric and adolescent patients who underwent ACL reconstruction developed arthrofibrosis; however, skeletally immature patients had significantly lower rates of arthrofibrosis vs. skeletally mature patients.
Augmented ACL reconstruction yielded faster functional recovery vs. no augmentation
ACL reconstruction with bone marrow aspirate, demineralized bone matrix and suture tape may improve functional outcomes.
Three-dimensional-printing-guided preoperative planning of upper and lower extremity pediatric orthopedic surgeries: A systematic review of surgical outcomes
Three-dimensional printing has evolved into a cost-effective and accessible tool. In orthopedic surgery, creating patient-specific anatomical models and instrumentation improves visualization and surgical accuracy. In pediatric orthopedics, three-dimensional printing reduces operating time, radiation exposure, and blood loss by enhancing surgical efficacy. This review compares outcomes of three-dimensional printing–assisted surgeries with conventional surgeries for upper and lower extremity pediatric surgeries.
