Are Topical Anti-Inflammatory Creams Worth the Rub?
Chronic pain and inflammation can really take a toll on your physical and mental health. Oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®) can help reduce pain and inflammation. But they also carry certain risks for cardiovascular and kidney issues, stroke, bleeding and ulcers when you take them for extended periods of time. Fortunately, there are topical anti-inflammatory creams that offer the same amount of relief with significantly reduced risks.
Repair of a Proximal Hip Capsular Avulsion in Revision Hip Arthroscopy
Revision hip arthroscopy is challenging from a diagnostic and technical perspective and has been repeatedly shown to have inferior outcomes when compared to primary hip arthroscopy. Capsular defects are common findings in the revision setting that have been successfully managed with capsular reconstruction. We propose a technique of capsular repair for a proximal capsular defect without the need for a capsular reconstruction.
SLAP Tear of the Shoulder
A SLAP tear is an injury to the labrum, the cartilage rim that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint. SLAP stands for "superior labrum anterior and posterior," meaning that the tear occurs at the front of the upper arm where the bicep tendon connects to the shoulder.
Exercises and stretches for hip pain
Hip pain can have a range of causes, from minor injury to chronic inflammation. In many cases, gently exercising and stretching the hips can help relieve pain and restore mobility.
What to know about scapular winging
Scapular winging involves one or both shoulder blades sticking out from the back rather than lying flat. It is a rare condition that may result from injury or nerve damage.
Periacetabular Osteotomy with Concomitant Hip Arthroscopy Shows Comparable Outcomes Compared to Isolated Hip Arthroscopy with Capsular Plication in Borderline Dysplastic Hips: A Propensity-Matched Study
To compare minimum 2-year outcomes of concomitant hip arthroscopy (HA) with periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) versus isolated HA with capsular plication in patients with borderline hip dysplasia (BHD).
How do you treat rotator-cuff tears?
Shoulder symptoms led to an average of 9.6 million physician visits in 2015 and 2016 in the United States. The most common cause of those shoulder symptoms? Rotator-cuff disorders. Nonoperative treatment, such as physical therapy, is the typical approach to treating rotator-cuff tears. However, surgery is considered in certain patients whose rotator-cuff tears don't resolve with nonoperative treatments.
How to identify and treat inner knee pain
The inner or medial knee refers to the part closest to the other knee. Injuries and arthritis are two possible causes of inner knee pain. Treatment options depend on the cause and include warm or cold packs, exercise, and medication.
Labrum SLAP Tear
Your labrum is soft tissue that connects the socket part of the scapula (called the glenoid) with the head of the humerus. A tear in the labrum results in insufficient cushioning between those bones.
Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Periacetabular Osteotomy versus Hip Arthroscopy for Borderline Acetabular Dysplasia Are Comparable: A Systematic Review
The purpose of this systematic review was to compare patient populations and outcomes in studies treating borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) with either hip arthroscopy or periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). We hypothesized that studies would show significant postoperative improvement following both PAO and arthroscopy for BHD, and that subjects undergoing arthroscopy would have a higher rate of Cam morphology.
