How Glenoid Fractures Are Treated
A glenoid fracture is a fracture of the socket of the glenohumeral joint. This is the ball-and-socket joint in your shoulder that allows you to rotate your arm or move it up and down and side to side. A glenoid fracture is uncommon and usually only occurs as a result of a high-impact injury.
Bioresorbable hyaluronic acid alginate hydrogel use in total ankle arthroplasty to control post-operative scarring
Maintenance of ankle joint range of motion has been shown to lead to lower pain and higher patient satisfaction following ankle replacement. Presented in this study is the use of a hyaluronic acid alginate hydrogel at the time of index surgery to decrease the risk of peri-prosthetic scarring.
The Femoral Head Edema Zone: A Novel Classification Scheme to Better Predict Osteonecrosis Progression
This study proposed a new classification, the Edema Zone classification, that uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images to grade the extent of edema in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The purpose of the study was 1) to examine how the Edema Zone classification compared to the Japanese Investigation Committee (JIC) classification’s prognostic ability for early conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA), and 2) to determine how accurately and reliably the Edema Zone classification performed as a classification system.
Analysis of risk factors affecting wound infection after open ankle fracture surgery
This study aimed to analyze the incidence and risk factors associated with surgical site infection (SSI) following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for ankle fractures.
