Modified Ludloff's medial approach for resection of heterotopic ossification of the hip following severe SARS-CoV-2 infection: a case report.

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has significantly affected people worldwide. Herein, we present a case of massive heterotopic ossification (HO) of the right hip following severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. The exact origin of HO development is still unknown, but a critical illness, chronic immobilization and hypoxia are important risk factors.

Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Vitamin C during the Postoperative Period in Patients Subjected to Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Vitamin C, a potent reducing and antioxidant agent, plays an important role in the body, aiding in the growth of cartilage and bones. It is also involved in mechanisms that help reduce inflammation and its effects on the body. In addition, vitamin C decreases pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, which produce acute-phase proteins such as CRP and influence inflammatory markers such as ESR.

Why Is There a Range in Time Returning to Preoperative Activity Habits After Femoroacetabular Impingement Treatment in Recreational Athletes?

Context: Professional athletes showed excellent results after hip preserving procedures. However, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding the rate of return to activity and the rehabilitation time of recreational athletes. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate factors that were associated with an extended return-to-activity time in nonprofessional athletes.

[Persistent or recurrent symptoms after surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) : Pathology, diagnostics and therapy].

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) has gained vast importance in the last two decades. Multiple studies have shown that if untreated, early osteoarthritis of the hip joint may result. Hip arthroscopy is one of the fastest growing procedures in the orthopedic cosmos, having already replaced the majority of (mini) open techniques in FAIS surgery.

The prevalence of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome in professional soccer athletes is high. Professional training and treatment conditions ensure an effective conservative therapy focusing on dynamic stability, motion control, muscle balance and core stability. In the case of persistent limitations, indication for surgery has to be considered carefully.
