Weight loss is an important treatment for knee osteoarthritis in people living with overweight or obesity. It can reduce joint load, improve metabolic health and help some patients move …
Key Takeaways In a randomized controlled trial, robotic-assisted total knee replacement produced more accurate alignment on several radiographic measures than conventional surgery. Better technical precision did not translate into …
Key Takeaways An Israeli study of 153 patients treated with chemotherapy and radiation for cervical cancer found that 18 patients (11.8%) developed imaging-confirmed pelvic insufficiency fractures. Most fractures were …
Key Takeaways A new 2026 meta-analysis comparing functional alignment with mechanical alignment in robotic primary total knee arthroplasty suggests that functional alignment can reduce the need for soft-tissue releases …
Key Takeaways A painful or disappointing result after robotic knee replacement does not automatically mean the robot failed. Most failure mechanisms are the same problems seen after total knee …
Key Takeaways Knee osteoarthritis is not simply “wear and tear.” It is a whole-joint disease involving cartilage, bone, synovium, menisci, ligaments and surrounding muscles. X-ray severity and symptom severity …
Key Takeaways Robotic assistance can improve the reproducibility of bone preparation, implant positioning, alignment targets, and intraoperative planning in total knee arthroplasty. Greater technical precision does not automatically produce …
Human growth hormone (HGH), also called growth hormone (GH), plays an important role in bone metabolism. This has led researchers to investigate whether recombinant human growth hormone could help …
Researchers at the University of Connecticut developed an experimental biodegradable scaffold that uses externally applied ultrasound to generate electrical stimulation and promote bone regeneration. The technology could eventually provide …
A specialized team of doctors in Lyon France performed the first double transplantation on both arms and shoulders. The patient, a 48-year-old Icelander, is in stable condition. An Icelander …
