Comparison of Outcomes Between Modular Dual Mobility and Conventional Hip Implants in Primary, Elective Total Hip Arthroplasty
Modular dual mobility designs (MDM) are designed to reduce the risk of postoperative dislocations following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study investigated both the usage and outcomes (ie, patient-reported outcomes and complications) associated with MDM hips compared with conventional implant designs.
Groundbreaking Five-Year Study Confirms Stability of the Novel Reverse Hip Replacement System (Reverse HRS) Design
This novel reverse total hip arthroplasty (RTHA) design has been developed with enhanced mechanical stability at extremes of motion by reversing the articulating surfaces using a femoral cup and acetabular ball. The purpose of this study was to assess the implant-bone fixation using radiostereometric analysis (RSA), assess the linear wear of the cross-linked polyethylene insert and monitor the clinical safety and efficacy of this novel design.
Aerobic exercise found to be most effective for knee osteoarthritis
For patients with knee osteoarthritis, aerobic activities such as walking, cycling, or swimming are likely to be the best exercise for improving pain, function, gait performance, and quality of life, finds a study published by The BMJ today.
Hip Weakness May Contribute to Knee Pain
The movement and stability of your hips and knees work together and share several muscles. The hip is a ball and socket joint and is a major weight-bearing joint in the body. There are many ligamentous attachments that add to the stability of your hip.
Efficacy of Lower Limb Wearables to Assess Recovery Following Total Hip or Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The purpose of this review was to assess the use of lower-limb wearable sensors in monitoring total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) recovery. Outpatient postoperative assessment routinely focuses on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), which can be limited by ceiling effects and subjective reporting. Wearable sensors provide objective, real-time, remote data, enabling recovery tracking, rehabilitation protocol adjustments, and patient exercise adherence. Lower-limb sensors are particularly useful, as close proximity allows monitoring of clinical outcomes specific to the affected joint.
