The gluteus medius allows hip abduction and stabilization of the pelvis when walking. A rupture of the gluteus medius tendon is associated with lateral hip pain, weakness, a positive Trendelenburg sign, and a limp. Diagnosis is confirmed by ultrasound or MRI.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most performed orthopedic surgeries worldwide. For many years, TKA implants were positioned according to a systematic approach known as mechanical alignment, which prioritized implant survival over the restoration of a more physiological knee. A high dissatisfaction rate of 20% after knee prosthesis has led to a rethinking of coronal alignment and a move towards a more personalized approach.

- - The project aimed to create a patient-centered tool named "Patients like me" to help individuals understand and make decisions about total hip arthroplasty (THA) by using insights from previous patients' experiences.
- - The tool was developed in four steps, utilizing data from the Geneva Arthroplasty Registry, patient interviews, surveys, and advanced analysis methods to identify important outcomes for patients regarding THA.
- - Clinical outcomes from over 6,800 THA procedures were summarized, illustrating pain relief, activity improvement, and potential complications over time, making the tool adaptable for personal use and discussions with healthcare providers.
Background And Purpose: Younger recipients of total hip arthroplasty (THA) highly prioritize returning to preoperative levels of physical activity (PA). Surgeons have tended to give cautious advice concerning high-impact sports participation, but there have been few long-term studies. The purpose of our study was to investigate the risk of revision arthroplasty in relation to postoperative PA levels.
