Researchers develop new test for early osteoarthritis diagnosis
Diagnosing osteoarthritis often occurs in the late stages when cartilage degradation is severe, making it difficult to distinguish it from other types of arthritis and to determine the best treatment plan.

Computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation may show benefits vs. robotic-assisted THA
Computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation for total hip arthroplasty yielded decreased OR times and hospital costs vs. robotic-assisted surgery.
Factors associated with poor hip flexion range of motion after total hip arthroplasty in patients with ankylosing spondylitis: a retrospective study on 538 consecutive hips
This study aimed to report the mid-term functional outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of advanced hip involvement in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and identify the factors associated with poor hip flexion range of motion (ROM) after THA in patients with AS.
