Platelet rich plasma injection in knee osteoarthritis: results after four years.
To evaluate the short and long term effects of intra-articular injection of PRP on pain and functional status of the knee joint as measured by the Lysholm questionnaire and visual analogic pain scale (VAS).
10 Strengthening Exercises for Hip Bursitis
Previously, researchers thought that hip bursitis was the primary cause of lateral or side hip pain. Now, experts know that greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a more accurate explanation. GTPS includes injury or wear and tear of the gluteal muscle tendons (tendinopathy), which may cause hip pain that worsens with movement.

Pain in the back of the knee when straightening the leg is called posterior knee pain. Finding the cause can be difficult as it can come from problems with the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, or vascular system.
Comparison of mid-term clinical and radiological results of short and conventional femoral stems in total hip arthroplasty
This study aims to answer the question: Which are superior—conventional or short femoral stems?. An Optymis stem was used as a short-femoral stem, and an Accolade II stem was used as a conventional-femoral stem.
Study: Mobile app aids recovery of elderly people with hip fractures and helps their caregivers

Impact of Offset and Leg Length on Functional Outcomes Post-Total Hip Arthroplasty: How Accurate Should Coronal Reconstruction Be?
Accurate hip reconstruction is associated with improved biomechanical behavior following total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, whether this is associated with improved patient-reported outcome measures (PROs) is unknown.
Patients Regularly Return to Medium- and Low-Impact Types of Sporting Activities Following Distal Femoral or Proximal Tibial Replacement After Resection of a Primary Bone Sarcoma
Little is known about the resumption of sporting activities following megaprosthetic reconstruction of the distal femur and proximal tibia after resection of a bone sarcoma. Thus, the aims of our study were: (1) to assess the functional outcome; (2) to evaluate pre- and postoperatively performed sporting activities; and (3) to identify potential beneficial and limiting factors.
‘Don’t push into pain!’ How to rescue your knees from everything from torn ligaments to injured tendons
