8 Tips for Healthy Bones
It’s a fact of life: As you age, your bones become thinner and lose their density. Fortunately, you can take steps early on to strengthen your bone health and prevent osteopenia (bone thinning) and osteoporosis (late-stage bone loss). Bone health starts with proper nutrition, exercise and healthy lifestyle choices.
Capsular Management in Arthroscopic Hip Surgery – What if Disruption of the Iliofemoral Ligament is Optional?
Postoperative iatrogenic hip instability is an increasingly recognized complication of arthroscopic hip surgery. Numerous publications have reported on the biomechanical importance of capsular preservation, as well as the clinical importance of proper capsular management. The majority of studies published in the literature report on the clinical benefits of capsular repair in order to best preserve native anatomy, but other strategies directed at minimizing capsular disruption are critical, given that capsular repair is technically challenging early in the learning curve, and even a well-repaired capsule can fail to heal or retear in the early postoperative period.
General Anesthesia Utilizing Laryngeal Mask Airway Ventilation with Low Dose Neuromuscular Blockade is Safe and Effective for Patients Undergoing Hip Arthroscopy
Administration of general anesthesia utilizing LMA ventilation with a low dosage of neuromuscular blockade is safe and effective for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. The rate of conversion to endotracheal intubation was low and showed no association with ASA classification.
Quadriceps and hamstring muscles strength differences in adolescent and adult recreational athletes 6 months after autograft bone-patellar-tendon-bone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A retrospective study
Knee muscle strength recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is crucial for a safe return to sport (RTS) but it is poorly described in the adolescent population. Therefore, we compared the knee muscle strength at 6 months post-surgery in adults and adolescents. We hypothesized a greater muscular strength in adolescents 6 months after ACLR.
10 types of exercise to try with arthritis of the knee
Exercises for knee arthritis, such as leg lifts, can strengthen the muscles around the knee joint and help a person stay active. Swimming and elliptical training are also suitable options.
