Safe and reproducible knee posterolateral portal development using an arthroscopic inside-out technique: A technical note and retrospective case series of current technique
There have been many variations of knee arthroscopy posterolateral portal establishment techniques, yet few reports of associated complications. The objective of this study was to describe a standardized inside-out posterolateral portal development technique and to report data on its safety.

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).

Meniscal preservation may improve ACL reconstruction outcomes in concurrent meniscal tears
In patients undergoing primary ACL reconstruction with a meniscal tear, partial meniscectomy may increase the risk for revision ACL surgery and conversion to total knee arthroplasty, according to results

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.

Millions with joint pain and osteoarthritis are missing the most powerful treatment
Stiff knees and aching hips may seem like an inevitable part of aging, but experts say we’re getting osteoarthritis all wrong. Despite affecting nearly 600 million people worldwide - and potentially a billion by 2050 - the most powerful treatment isn’t surgery or medication. It’s exercise. Movement nourishes cartilage, strengthens muscles, reduces inflammation, and even reshapes the biological processes driving joint damage.

Short-Term Functional Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty According to Their Body Mass Index
This study aimed to evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and short-term outcomes following primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA), including functional improvement, perioperative variables, and postoperative complications.

Teenage Total Hip Arthroplasty Yields High Satisfaction and Excellent Survival up to 20-Year Follow-Up
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly performed in patients younger than 20 years who have destructive hip pathology. The unique anatomical and developmental characteristics of this population, along with the high likelihood of future revision surgery, have led to cautious clinical decision-making. Data on safety, effectiveness, and long-term (20 years) outcomes in teenagers remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate implant survival, patient satisfaction, functional outcomes, and complications following THA in teenagers.
