I'm thrilled to announce that our systematic review article, "Management of Iatrogenic Medial Collateral Ligament Injury in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty," has been published in the Archives of Bone and Joint Surgery journal. In this study, we explored different strategies for handling MCL injuries during total knee arthroplasty, aiming to improve patient outcomes. We found that the most popular management strategies for iatrogenic MCL injury were using suture anchors, staples, screws and washers, and more constrained prostheses and the proper method should be decided considering the site of the MCL injury.

Anterior hip replacement is a hip replacement surgery performed through an anterior surgical approach. Traditionally, hip replacements have been performed through posterior or lateral approaches. Both of these surgical approaches involve dissection of muscles or tendons that are involved in a normal gait cycle � the process of walking. The anterior surgical approach is unique in that it involves minimal disruption to the muscles and tendons surrounding the hip joint, and as such, allows for quicker recovery from the hip replacement procedure.

As faculty and panelist, I led a session on Plating for Proximal Humerus Fractures, delving into the nuances of 'When, Why, and How.' Serving as both convener and panelist, I also demonstrated surgical techniques during the shoulder surgical school. It was a rewarding opportunity to share knowledge and expertise in orthopedic surgery, contributing to advancements in patient care and rehabilitation. #orthopedicsurgery #surgery #surgeon #backpain #spinehealth #doctor #neckpain #spinalfusion #orthopedics #backsurgery #scoliosis #orthopedicsurgeon #drashutoshajri #OrthopedicCare #kneepain #shoulderpain, #shouldersurgery #shoulderarthroscopy #kneepain #kneesurgery #kneearthroscopy #shoulderreplacement, #rehabilitation

The global hip reconstruction devices market was worth $4.1 Bn in 2023 and is expected to reach $6.7 Bn by the year 2034 at a CAGR of 4.0 % between 2024 and 2034, according to a recent report published by Transparency Market Research. The report also finds that hip reconstruction surgery is one of the most common kinds of joint surgeries performed in the U.S., with more than 450,000 procedures being held each year. The growing prevalence of hip osteoarthritis is one of the primary factors driving the demand of such surgeries worldwide. https://lnkd.in/emABWqHs #hipreplacement #jointreplacement #orthopedics #orthopedicsurgery #surgery #hipreplacementsurgery #hipreconstruction  #orthopaedics #jointpain

Because of the invasiveness of most standard knee replacements, and the lacking technology being used in joint repair, a common post-surgical issue we hear a lot about is missing joint fluidity. Patients often experience interminable popping and clicking, some with associated pain, catching and joint rigidity. Nanochon's orthopedic implant Chondrograft requires only minimally invasive surgery and was found to provide post-surgical joint fluidity and smoothness in animal studies. This demonstrates immense potential for human cartilage repair where joint nimbleness after surgery may be just as good or better than before. We are pressing on towards a better way to keep people active and strong as long as possible with a better solution that preserves joint fluidity! #Orthopedics #AdvancingOrthopedics #Orthotech #Biotech

In this case, a 69-year-old patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation using The proximal humerus plating system, which employs a combination of cortical screws and threaded posts to anchor the plate to the proximal humerus. An unique aspect of this system involves the utilization of threaded cross-elements that traverse through the posts to augment bone fixation. Biomechanical pullout testing has revealed that integrating these cross-elements with the posts confers a notable biomechanical benefit for enhancing fixation properties. This clinical case underscores a successful surgery for a patient with a proximal humeral fracture, showcasing a successful recovery in terms of range of motion and symptom relief. #ProximalHumerusFractures #OrthopedicSurgery 🏥 #ORIF #SuccessfulRecovery #Medicine #ClinicalResearch #BoneHealth #Biomechanics #PatientCare #MedicalAdvancements #GeriatricCare #GeriatricMedicine #SuccessfulSurgery #Rehabilitation #Healthcare

Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs in the body that help in the smooth gliding of the muscles, tendons, ligaments over the bony prominences. There are two major bursae in the hip joint, the trochanteric bursa and the iliopsoas bursa. Inflammation of the bursae is a common cause of hip pain. The pain may be managed with medications, change of activity, injections, and rarely surgery.

Many patients who reach the stage of requiring a hip replacement usually will have suffered from pain and discomfort in and around the hip joint for quite some time. Osteoarthritis � which is the most common reason people require hip replacement surgery � usually develops gradually over a number of years with hip discomfort and hip pain noticed at first, which gradually progresses in its severity and frequency.
