This randomized controlled trial compares surgical fasciectomy and collagenase injection for recurrent Dupuytren contracture, revealing similar functional outcomes at 2 years but higher adverse events with surgery.
This large-scale England study reveals persistently high mortality after below-knee amputation in diabetes, with one-year mortality exceeding 23%, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions focused on older, female, and comorbid patien
Charcot neuro-osteoarthropathy (CNO) in people with diabetes is linked to frequent emergency hospitalizations, substantial risk of limb amputation, and reduced survival, highlighting urgent need for intensified multidisciplinary care.
Maxillary distraction osteogenesis (MaxDO) offers promising long-term dentofacial correction in cleft lip and palate patients, serving both as a bridge to and replacement for traditional orthognathic surgery.
A decade-long single-surgeon study finds facelift surgery safe across all age groups, including patients older than 75, with no significant increase in major or minor complications attributable to age alone.
Despite nearly universal insurance coverage, nearly half of patients with distal upper extremity nerve injuries face significant financial hardship, influenced by injury location, surgical complexity, and preexisting debt. Targeted financia
First MTPJ arthrodesis significantly reduces walking pain at 12 months in hallux rigidus patients compared with watchful waiting, demonstrating a clinically meaningful benefit in this common foot osteoarthritis.
This study reveals that even amateur soccer heading causes immediate, transient increases in blood biomarkers p-tau217 and S100B, indicating acute neural impact and suggesting a dose-response effect.
This article explores personalized osteoporosis management, combining evidence-based pharmacologic therapies with individualized lifestyle and nutrition guidance, to improve patient outcomes through shared decision making.
This study demonstrates that hyperthyroidism driven by constitutively active TSH receptor mutations alters craniofacial structure and bone mineral density in mice, offering insights into thyroid hormone’s role in skeletal development.
A multicenter randomized trial found that 4-week multimodal prehabilitation added to ERAS reduced 90-day complications after spinal fusion in adults aged 75 years or older.
A multicenter trauma study found that 20.1% of surgically treated Morel-Lavallée lesions developed wound complications. Pedestrian-versus-vehicle injury was the only independent predictor of postoperative problems.
A small human cohort study suggests that upper extremity amputation with AMI reconstruction is feasible and may preserve residual limb volume, improve muscle mechanics, and reduce pain and phantom limb symptoms.
A survey study found three distinct patient preference patterns for anticoagulation after hip or knee replacement: clot-prevention focused, balanced, and cost-focused. These differences may help personalize postoperative blood thinner choic
A survey study found three distinct patient preference patterns for anticoagulation after hip or knee replacement, highlighting the importance of shared decision-making based on clot risk, bleeding risk, and cost.
A recent randomized trial found PT modestly improved function over CBT in cLBP, but no second-stage treatment differences emerged for nonresponders. The study informs adaptive treatment strategies.
This review analyzes the LIDA trial findings, demonstrating that an abbreviated 3-month romosozumab course followed by denosumab is non-inferior to the standard 12-month regimen in increasing total hip bone mineral density, potentially redu
This review evaluates the LIDA trial’s findings that 3 months of romosozumab followed by denosumab is non-inferior to 12 months of romosozumab, offering a cost-effective strategy to mitigate long-term side effects.
A Phase 3 pragmatic trial found that 12 hours of weekly intensive task-specific training added to usual care does not improve motor recovery in recent spinal cord injury patients, suggesting a potential plateau in the benefits of early reha
Recent clinical evidence demonstrates that endoscopic and arthroscopic techniques for infraclavicular brachial plexus neurolysis and pectoralis minor release provide comparable outcomes to open surgery with significantly reduced morbidity f
