For the last 25 years MicroPort Orthopedics has been restoring more normal knee function to our patients through the innovative design of our medial-pivot knee. In one study, the Evolution® Medial-Pivot knee demonstrated enhanced quadriceps efficiency and reduced quadriceps avoidance compared to traditional PS knee designs(1). Furthermore, evidence has shown increased efficiency reduces quadriceps muscle fatigue and has the potential to achieve greater function with less pain(2,3).

Can you answer our FREE Question of the Day? An 80-year-old female presents to your clinic with complaints of pain and lack of function in her shoulder. She is unable to actively raise her arm past 90º of abduction. Her radiographs demonstrate rotator cuff arthropathy of the glenohumeral joint. You discuss with the patient that she is not a candidate for rotator cuff repair and recommend reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA). When discussing possible complications of this surgery, you reference the risk of the complication seen in Figure A. Which of the following technical modifications would most increase the risk of this complication occurring? 1. Inferior glenoid baseplate positioning 2. Increase in glenosphere diameter 3. Increase in lateral glenosphere offset 4. Increase in humeral retroversion 5. Use of humeral component with neck-shaft angle of 155º QID: 217839 Comment your answer below, then check to see if you got it correct by clicking the link below to see the answer & explanation. https://bit.ly/3YtgNhJ #orthopedics #orthopedicsurgeon #orthopaedics #orthopaedic #orthopedic #ortholife #orthobullets #orthoresidents #orthoresident #orthoresidency #medicalschool #medicalstudent #medstudent #doctor #physician

 Snapping hip can be caused by various factors, including muscular imbalances, tightness or weakness in certain muscles, repetitive hip movements (such as running or dancing), structural abnormalities in the hip joint, and previous hip injuries.     Treatment for snapping hip usually involves conservative measures such as rest, activity modification, and physical therapy to address any underlying muscle imbalances or weaknesses. In some cases, corticosteroid injections may be used to reduce inflammation and pain. Surgery is rarely needed and is reserved for severe cases that do not respond to conservative treatment.     If you experience snapping hip and it causes pain, limits your mobility, or affects your daily activities, we recommend calling our office to schedule and appointment for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

MicroPort Orthopedics' Medial-Pivot Knee System was designed with global considerations for varying patient anatomies. Using CT scans, surgical, and cadaveric assessments from around the world, the Evolution® Medial-Pivot Knee Implant features an optimal sizing scheme to accommodate a wide array of patient sizes and anatomies. In fact, clinical evidence confirms that an anatomic tibial profile such as that found in the Evolution® Medial-Pivot Knee System, provides the ideal tibial coverage without compromising alignment.

If your knee is severely damaged by arthritis or injury, it may be hard for you to perform simple activities, such as walking or climbing stairs. You may even begin to feel pain while you are sitting or lying down. If nonsurgical treatments like medications and using walking supports are no longer helpful, you may want to consider total knee replacement surgery. Joint replacement surgery is a safe and effective procedure to relieve pain, correct leg deformity, and help you resume normal activities. As a specialist in knee replacement and sports medicine, Dr. Ajayi is dedicated to returning you to your normal life activities.

The WAX trial, conducted across 23 UK hospitals with 561 adult participants, has yielded groundbreaking results. Patients were assigned to either early (2 weeks post-op) or delayed (6 weeks post-op) weight-bearing strategies post ankle surgery. 🌟 Key Findings: 1. Effectiveness: Early weight-bearing is not inferior to delayed weight-bearing in terms of ankle function, as measured by the Olerud and Molander Ankle Score. 2. Safety: Complication rates are similar between both approaches. 3. Cost-Effectiveness: Early weight-bearing is highly likely to be cost-effective. These results could transform post-op care, offering faster recovery without increased risks. https://lnkd.in/gZaAKe5x #MedicalResearch #Orthopedics #HealthEconomics #PatientCare #WAXTrial #AnkleSurgery #EarlyWeightBearing

Episode 146: In this Research Unpacked Episode from Inform Performance, Dr Dylan Carmody chats to Snehal Patel, PT, MPT, SCS the Clinical Supervisor for Sports Rehabilitation at Hospital for Special Surgery NYC. The main focus of the conversation is on his paper titled 'The Evolution of Rehabilitation and Return to Sport Following Cartilage Surgery.' Snay explains the differences between operative and non-operative management of cartilage injuries and the importance of strength training in the rehabilitation process. Snay also discusses BFR, the psychological aspect of returning to sport and the use of force plate testing and motion capture to assess jump height, landing mechanics, and force attenuation. 🎯Topics Discussed  ▪️Operative vs. Non-Operative Management of Cartilage Injuries ▪️Range of Motion & Loading Progressions in Post-Surgery Rehabilitation ▪️Psychological Aspect of Returning to Sport ▪️Assessing Jump Height, Landing Mechanics & Force Attenuation ▪️Staying Updated on Emerging Surgical Techniques 🎧 Listen Here: https://lnkd.in/eGJ42tSU ▶️ Watch Here: https://lnkd.in/e55UqdE9 #HSS #cartilage #injury #orthopedics #ortho #sportsmedicine #jointinjury #physiotherapy #sportsrehab #rehab #physicaltherapy

For the last 25 years MicroPort Orthopedics has been restoring more normal knee function to our patients through the innovative design of our medial-pivot knee. In fact, a clinical study found that patients felt more normal following surgery due to the stability, enhanced quadriceps efficiency, and increased flexion potential (1, 2).

Robert Judet performed the first Anterior Approach Hip Replacement 10 years after taking a position at the Hôpital Cochin in Paris, using a Judet acrylic prosthesis and the “Judet Table,” designed by Robert’s orthopedic surgeon father Henri. ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE™ Hip Replacement, by DePuy Synthes, is a leading solution in the Anterior Approach to hip replacement. Unlike a traditional approach where the muscles are cut, the Anterior Approach allows the surgeon to work between the muscles keeping them intact. By keeping the muscles intact, the Anterior Approach may allow for shorter recovery, less pain, a shorter hospital stay and fewer post-operative restrictions. #pelvictilt #cuptimize #aahks2023 #hipnavigation #roboticsurgery #orthopedics
