Early hip arthroscopists routinely performed capsulectomies to obtain adequate visualization within the hip joint. As our techniques and skills have evolved, more modern capsulotomies are
The use of computer navigation in total joint arthroplasty is increasing. Navigation has been employed less in total hip arthroplasty (THA) than in total knee arthroplasty, perhaps because of the increased need for
In a new study reported in JBJS, Gausden et al. evaluated implant survivorship, complications, and radiographic results of a specific collarless, polished, tapered cemented stem (Exeter; Stryker) used selectively in a predominantly elderly
When discussing patient outcomes of hip fractures, we often are speaking of fractures of the proximal part of the femur. But what about the other side of the hip joint, the acetabulum? Among fragility-related injuries, we’re seeing a rise in the incidence of acetabular fractures. And
Every month, JBJS publishes a review of the most pertinent and impactful studies from the orthopaedic literature during the previous year in 14 subspecialty areas. Click here for
As surgeons, we are always looking to improve, or at least we should be. How can we obtain better outcomes? How can procedures be more time efficient? Can
JBJS Essential Surgical Techniques (EST) and The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (JBJS) give out two annual awards–one for the best Subspecialty Procedure (SP) video article, and the other
Genetic susceptibility to orthopaedic conditions is of interest to clinicians and patients alike. While the link between genetics and certain pediatric conditions is known, studies
There have been 3 historic cycles of interest in surface replacement of the hip in the last 40 years. The second cycle occurred in the 1980s into the 1990s, when
