  • Will knee injections help your osteoarthritis? Here`s what the evidence says

    Knee osteoarthritis is a complex disease that affects the whole joint, including bone, cartilage, ligaments and muscles. When pain persists, many people look for quick, convenient options, such as injections. Clinics offer several types of knee injections. Some are heavily marketed with promises to "repair" or "regenerate" the joint. But what does the evidence actually say about these claims, or the ability of knee injections to reduce pain and improve mobility?

  • Acute total hip arthroplasty for anterior hip fracture dislocation: a case report

    Hip fracture–dislocations accompanied by femoral head or acetabular fractures remain challenging, and the optimal treatment strategy is still controversial. Anterior hip fracture–dislocations are particularly rare, and reports describing acute total hip arthroplasty (THA) for this injury pattern are limited. We report the case of a 74-year-old active woman who sustained an anterior hip fracture–dislocation with femoral head and acetabular anterior wall fractures after a low-energy fall.

  • Surgical management techniques for avascular necrosis of the femoral head: a systematic review

    Early surgical intervention for avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head can preserve the hip joint and delay the need for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of various surgical modalities to treat femoral head AVN as assessed by THA-free survivorship, radiographic failure, and patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs).

  • 11 Common Hip Pain and Injuries in Athletes

    Muscle strain, or pulled muscle, occurs when a muscle is overstretched or torn. In athletes, this type of injury is common in the hip and groin area due to fatigue, overuse, or the improper use of a muscle. The failure to warm up before exercise also contributes to the problem.

  • Groin Pain: Causes and How to Get Rid of It

    Groin pain can have many causes, including muscle strains, hip arthritis, inguinal hernias, and kidney stones. Pain often worsens when sitting due to hip flexion. The RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) may help alleviate pain, but some cases might require more advanced treatments or physical therapy.
