Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) primarily affects young adults, leading to femoral head collapse and secondary osteoarthritis. Treatments include joint-preserving surgery, which has been performed preferentially, especially for young adults, and joint arthroplasty, i.e., total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although advancements in implant materials have markedly improved performance, there are few data regarding implant survival and clinical outcomes in younger patients. This study aimed to assess long-term implant survival of more than 120 months and clinical outcomes in young ONFH patients undergoing primary THA.
Knee muscle strength recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is crucial for a safe return to sport (RTS) but it is poorly described in the adolescent population.
Exercises for knee arthritis, such as leg lifts, can strengthen the muscles around the knee joint and help a person stay active. Swimming and elliptical training are also suitable options.
Robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty may be associated with reduced opioid consumption during postoperative hospitalization vs. both manual and computer-assisted total hip arthroplasty, according to presented results.
