How to strengthen your knee
While it may be tempting to avoid exercise when knee pain occurs, this is not always the appropriate solution. Certain types of exercise can help alleviate existing knee pain and prevent future pain or injury by providing the knee with extra support.
How to Treat Hip Bursitis
Hip pain often occurs with running. While some level of soreness is normal, if your hips hurt after running, it may mean that you have injured yourself. Hip pain can be caused by injury to your muscles, bone, tendons, or other structures in your hip. Having weak core muscles, an old injury, or poor movement patterns can contribute to hip pain as well.
Hip Flexor Muscles and Injuries
The hip flexor muscles are a group of muscles situated near the top of your thighs that allow you to lift your knee toward your chest and bend forward at the hip. This includes the iliacus, pectineus, psoas major, rectus femoris, and sartorius muscles that work together to enable hip flexion.
Comparison of outcomes in high versus low activity level patients after total joint arthroplasty
Activity level (AL) recommendations following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) remains controversial. Our purpose was to compare implant survivorship of high (HA) and low activity (LA) patients after primary TJA. We hypothesized that there would be no difference in implant survivorship based on AL.
OCTOGENARIANS ROCKIN’ SAME-DAY TKA?
Is concern for octogenarians who have total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in an outpatient setting justified? Citing a rise in such surgeries, and given the paucity of data on this, a multicenter team took a look at the risk of complications and readmissions following outpatient TKA in patients ≥80 years old.
