  • Groundbreaking Five-Year Study Confirms Stability of the Novel Reverse Hip Replacement System (Reverse HRS) Design

    This novel reverse total hip arthroplasty (RTHA) design has been developed with enhanced mechanical stability at extremes of motion by reversing the articulating surfaces using a femoral cup and acetabular ball. The purpose of this study was to assess the implant-bone fixation using radiostereometric analysis (RSA), assess the linear wear of the cross-linked polyethylene insert and monitor the clinical safety and efficacy of this novel design.

  • Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Under 30 Years Who Have Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: Mean Follow-Up of More than 120 Months

    Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) primarily affects young adults, leading to femoral head collapse and secondary osteoarthritis. Treatments include joint-preserving surgery, which has been performed preferentially, especially for young adults, and joint arthroplasty, i.e., total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although advancements in implant materials have markedly improved performance, there are few data regarding implant survival and clinical outcomes in younger patients. This study aimed to assess long-term implant survival of more than 120 months and clinical outcomes in young ONFH patients undergoing primary THA.

  • Q&A: How lunges, squats and holds can build stronger tendons and ligaments

    UC Davis Health molecular exercise physiologist Keith Baar specializes in sports medicine. He studies the effects of exercise on bone, muscle and tendon health. In this Q&A, he discusses how intensive exercising after injury or when overweight can cause damage to ligaments and tendons. He also talks about the importance of integrating isometric or static exercises into our fitness routines.

  • Boost Your Mobility With These Gait Training Exercises

    Gait training exercises are movements designed to help improve strength, balance and coordination when walking. They may be part of a physical therapy program for a person recovering from a stroke, an injury, or surgery, as well as those dealing with a chronic condition that affects their ability to walk.

  • Researchers develop new test for early osteoarthritis diagnosis

    Diagnosing osteoarthritis often occurs in the late stages when cartilage degradation is severe, making it difficult to distinguish it from other types of arthritis and to determine the best treatment plan.
