Shoulder arthroplasty is the third most frequently major joint replacement performed [ 1 ] and is growing at a faster rate than hip or knee arthroplasties, reaching an annual total of almost 200,000 procedures by 2022 [ 2 ]. Periprosthetic joint …

The incidence of syndesmosis injuries in ankle sprains has been reported between 20 and 40%, increasingly arising in high-impact sports or in combination with an ankle fracture [ 1 – 3 ]. In case of an unstable syndesmotic injury, anatomic …

Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA), characterized by minimal trauma, preservation of knee proprioception, and maintenance of motor function, has been validated through years of clinical practice as an effective treatment for anteromedial …

Postoperative sterile bandages and sealants provide a barrier for healing tissue and are important tools to achieving successful surgical outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) [ 1 ]. Despite advancements …

Hip surveillance for children with cerebral palsy (CP) integrates clinical and radiographic evaluations guided by a risk assessment associated with gross motor function. This approach aims to counteract the expected progression towards painful hip …

Pilon fractures are injuries to the distal tibia that invariably involve fragmentation of the plafond surface and varying degrees of metaphyseal disruption, often accompanied by severe soft tissue compromise [ 1 , 2 ]. These fractures are typically …

Hip and knee osteoarthritis, among the most prevalent orthopaedic conditions, affect millions of adults and drive the growing demand for total joint arthroplasty, placing an increasing financial burden on healthcare systems with limited resources …

Hip fractures, particularly extracapsular intertrochanteric and basicervical types, represent a major healthcare burden due to their high incidence in the elderly and their significant impact on morbidity, mortality, and functional independence.

Supracondylar humerus fractures are among the most common injuries encountered in paediatric orthopaedic practice, accounting for approximately 60–75% of all elbow fractures in children [ 1 ]. The vast majority of these fractures occur due to …

Coronal knee angular deformities are common in childhood [ 1 ]. Angular deformity can be caused by a wide range of conditions, varying from physiological variations to different pathological conditions. A proper and thorough patient evaluation is …

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful and cost-effective surgical procedures, restoring mobility and quality of life to a growing population of patients [ 1 ]. Each year, more than one million THAs are performed worldwide [ 2 …

An osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT) is a pathological condition affecting the articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone of the talus [ 1 ]. The most common causes of OLT are traumatic injuries such as ankle sprains and …
