Abstract Background Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading global cause of disability, yet conventional tools lack sensitivity for early detection and precise prognostication. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine lear...

Abstract Objective To examine whether long-term opioid use after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with subsequent risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all-cause mortality in patients with kn...

Abstract Background Commercially-available microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees are unable to fully replicate the biomechanical function of the missing biological limb. While powered prostheses have the capacity to...

Abstract Background Despite improvements in pain and function following total knee replacement (TKR), most patients do not achieve recommended levels of moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), putting them at increas...

Abstract Background Some studies regarding patients complaining of residual pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) showed pain scores improvement using genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (GNRFA). This prompted the...

Abstract Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative joint condition characterized by progressive cartilage deterioration and chronic pain, leading to functional impairment. Bone marrow-derived orthobiologics, such as bo...

Abstract Introduction The learning curve refers to the relationship between a learner's execution of a task and the number of attempts or time necessary to perform it in a predictable, reliable, and optimal fashion. The ...

Abstract Background The arthroscopic posterior transseptal approach (TSA) allows improved visualization of the posterior compartment of the knee joint. However, it can be associated with increased risks particularly rega...

Abstract Objective The relationship between muscle function recovery and biomechanical alterations after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) during high-risk movements remains unclear. This study aimed to in...

Abstract Background In basketball, quadriceps strains and contusions are common due to the muscle’s role in knee extension and hip flexion, with the rectus femoris most prone to injury because it crosses both joints, m...

Abstract Background The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of different mobility aids during the early rehabilitation phase following surgical repair of acute...

Abstract Background Elite female basketball players experience a high incidence of lower-limb injuries, yet evidence remains limited regarding the applicability of common functional performance tests in this population. ...

Abstract Background Pediatric habitual patellar dislocation in extension (E-HPD) is a rare and specific form of patellar dislocation with limited reports in the literature. For children with immature epiphyses, the gold ...

Abstract Background There have been emerging clinical trials investigating the efficacy of synthetic-graft-augmented autografts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in recent years. Hamstring tendon and Li...

Abstract Background Obesity in adults over 65 years is increasingly prevalent and linked to comorbidities like type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension (HTN), osteoarthritis (OA), and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where cons...

Abstract Background Tibial spine avulsion fractures (TSFs) are the pediatric equivalent of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The optimal management of type II fractures remains debated, and both conservative and...

Abstract Background Musculoskeletal diseases, such as Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), can lead to altered joint mobility and changes in gait pattern. While marker-based motion capture systems are considered the gold...
