Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are commonly encountered in the practice of sports medicine with current literature estimating an incidence of 100,000 to 200,000 cases per year.
InterSep® — The Latest Generation of Calcium Sulfate Bone Void Filler
As long as there have been bone voids or defects, there has been a desire to fill them. The description of filling defects with various substances has been mentioned in ancient Hindu, Egyptian and Greek texts.
Learning of A CAOS Enhanced Mechanical Instrument System for Total Knee Arthroplasty: A CUSUM Analysis
Computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS) has been shown to offer improved accuracy to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared to conventional techniques.1 Despite promising results, one of the drawbacks for surgeons to adopt CAOS technology may be the requirement of switching from conventional to CAOS-specific instruments.
Assessing the Learning Curve of a Contemporary Total Knee System Using Advanced (CUSUM) Analysis
As hospitals are facing mounting financial pressures in the current economic environment, time spent in the operating room has been identified as one of the most costly areas of hospital operations. As such, introduction of a new total knee arthroplasty (TKA) system to clinical care should demonstrate a minimum learning effort requirement.
Positive Early Clinical Outcomes Indicate Good Initial Fixation of the Alteon® Tapered Wedge Stem Compared to Other Wedge Stem Designs
The single-taper wedge stem design is derived from the cemented Mueller stem of the 1970s. Unlike fit-and-fill stems, which contact most of the metaphysis, tapered wedge femoral stems are designed to achieve proximal medial/lateral fixation.

Clinical Studies Validate the Accuracy of GPS in Targeting Implant Placement in Anatomic and Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
The incidence of shoulder arthroplasty continues to increase, and this has brought continued innovation in preoperative planning and implant design.
Is Patient-Specific Instrumentation Better Than Standard Instruments in Shoulder Arthroplasty?
One of the most difficult aspects of shoulder arthroplasty remains the ability to correct glenoid deformity with accurate reaming and positioning of the glenoid implant.
Opioid-Free Shoulder Arthroplasty: Are We There Yet?
As the evolution of shoulder arthroplasty permits progressively shorter lengths of hospital stay and performance of these procedures in the ambulatory setting, pain management continues to receive increased attention from patients and physicians.
The Effect of Glenoid Component Lucency on Outcomes
The volume of shoulder replacements performed has grown exponentially in the last decade due to its success in relieving pain and improving function with modern techniques and implants, but concerns regarding its longevity remain.
