Increased rates of cementless TKA yielded negligible increases in early revision
As cementless fixation in total knee arthroplasty has increased in the U.S. since 2012, results presented here showed a small but significant increase in 1-year revision risk with this method in patients aged 65 years or older.
Clinical Challenges in Managing Shoulder Osteoarthritis and Suprascapular Neuropathy
Chronic shoulder pain is a common and multifactorial condition. Suprascapular nerve neuropathy, although relatively uncommon, may lead to pain, weakness, and muscle atrophy as a result of extrinsic compression, trauma, or inflammation.
