Ankle fracture incidence is increasing in the elderly. There is a growing trend toward early weightbearing. We investigated the effects of early weightbearing after ankle open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in the geriatric population.
The purpose of this study is to report outcomes of patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) who underwent hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) at short- to mid-term timepoints comparing these results to a control group of non-DM patients.
Opioids are frequently used intraoperatively and during post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) care in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) cases and are commonly prescribed after surgery despite known adverse effects. This study examined whether in-hospital opioid exposure is related to postoperative opioid prescribing in opioid-naïve TKA patients.
The shoulder is an intricate joint, capable of a wide range of movements for both daily activities and physical exercise. This intricate joint is susceptible to various injuries and conditions due to its design. Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS), also clinically recognized as subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS), is a prevalent source of shoulder discomfort, which is a spectrum of disorders such as rotator cuff tendinopathy, partial or complete tears, and inflammation of the subacromial bursa.
