Joint preservation measures and less invasive treatment options for arthritis of the hips and knees can ensure optimal joint health for a pain free, active lifestyle.
Advances in approach and medical device technology are enabling less invasive surgical procedures – minimizing postoperative pain, reducing length of hospital stay and recovery times.
Partial and total joint replacement techniques based on research and long-term outcomes are helping people of all ages stay healthy and active.
Results in a recent study showed statistically better clinical outcomes and shorter tourniquet times among patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty who received a medial-stabilized implant compared with a posterior-stabilized implant.
The Journal of Arthroplasty recently published the research findings of Dr. Incavo and colleagues, Clinical Outcomes for Open Hip Abductor Repair Using Tenodesis and Bone Trough Repair Techniques.
Closed incision negative pressure therapy may reduce the rate of surgical site complications among higher risk patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty with the direct anterior approach, according to results presented in this study.
