Revision Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release: An Update on Technique and Outcomes.

Background: Carpal tunnel release is among the most frequently conducted upper extremity procedures. While it typically provides patients with improved sensation, decreased pain, and improved function, a small percentage of cases require revision due to failed initial surgery. Consequently, adoption of endoscopic techniques for carpal tunnel revision procedures is beginning to be explored.

Delayed Recovery Following Total Knee Arthroplasty Identified by Remote Monitoring With Tibial Extension Sensors.

Remote monitoring of patient activity following total knee arthroplasty has grown in popularity over the past decade. Recent technological advances have allowed for implantation of accelerometry devices within the tibial stem for remote monitoring of mobility postoperatively. Remote monitoring is suggested to allow for intervention in the case of events that may occur outside of regular follow-up appointments or traditional patient questionnaires.

Altered biomechanics in bilateral total knee replacement patients during stair negotiation.

Background: Many total knee replacement (TKR) patients need to have a contralateral knee replacement. Biomechanical differences between first and second replaced limbs of bilateral TKR have not been examined during stair negotiation. Additionally, it is unknown whether hip and ankle biomechanics of bilateral patients are altered.
