Hamstring Muscle Function and Common Injuries
The hamstring muscles are three large muscles that run down the back of the thigh and help control the hips and knees. They're key to mobility, including walking and playing sports, but injuries are common and can include muscle strains, flatback syndrome, spinal disc injury, and sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction.
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.
Total hip arthroplasty versus hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture: an overview of systematic reviews total hip arthroplasty versus hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture: an overview of systematic reviews
Hip arthroplasties for the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in adults can be total replacement or hemiarthroplasty. Despite the large number of studies on the topic, the best choice of arthroplasty to be used remains unclear.
Total Knee Arthroplasty After a Previous Patellectomy: A Case Report With a Six-Month Follow-Up and a Review of the Literature
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a widely performed surgical intervention for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. However, various patient-specific factors altering the biomechanics can influence the surgical technique and the postoperative outcomes. In this case report, a patient is presented who was admitted to our hospital with chronic left knee pain caused by osteoarthritis, with a history of patellectomy after a traumatic event 35 years ago.
