Book an AppointmentDual mobility components for THA may be justified in high-risk patients
Dual mobility components in total hip arthroplasty are a proven concept that decrease dislocation rates in patients at high risk for instability
Examination of the Knee
A knee examination is usually the first step in determining the cause of knee pain. During this exam, your healthcare provider may do knee tests designed to evaluate knee function and range of motion.
Neuropathic pain drugs linked to higher hip fracture risk in seniors
A new study by Monash University medicine safety experts found the use of gabapentinoids—medicines widely used to treat neuropathic pain—increased the risk of hip fractures, especially in older patients who were frail or had kidney disease.
Use of gabapentinoids may be associated with increased risk of hip fracture
According to published results, the use of gabapentinoids may be associated with an increased risk of hip fractures in older, frail patients and patients with chronic kidney disease.
Robotic-assisted THA may provide greater accuracy in component positioning vs. manual THA
Published results showed robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty may provide significantly greater accuracy in acetabular component positioning compared with manual THA in patients with overweight or obesity.
