Effectiveness of balance training on pain and functional outcomes in knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a musculoskeletal disorder that causes pain and increasing loss of function, resulting in reduced proprioceptive accuracy and balance. Therefore, the goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness of balance training on pain and functional outcomes in knee OA. "PubMed", "Scopus", "Web of Science", "Cochrane", and "Physiotherapy Evidence Database" were searched for studies conducted between January 2000 and December 2021.

Comparison of Single and Combined Treatment with Exercise Therapy and Collagen Supplementation on Early Knee Arthritis among Athletes-A Quasi-Randomized Trial.

Athletic injuries are commonly implicated in the development of early osteoarthritic (EOA) changes in the knee. These changes have a significant impact on athletic performance, and therefore the early detection of EOA is paramount. The objective of the study is to assess the impact of different interventions on individuals with EOA, particularly focusing on recreational athletes.

A Retrospective Observational Study Evaluating the Synergistic Effect of a Novel Combination of Alfapin + Native Type 2 Collagen + Mobilee (Hyaluronic Acid) + CurQlife (Curcumin) Nutraceuticals in the Symptomatic Improvement of Knee Osteoarthritis.

Background Treatment of pain and inflammation form the mainstay of osteoarthritis (OA) management. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), due to their inflammation-blocking mechanism, are a highly effective class of drugs for chronic pain and inflammation in OA. However, this comes at a cost of increased risk for multiple adverse effects, including gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular side effects, and NSAID-induced nephrotoxicity.

Patient handling in India-Evidence from a pilot study.

Background: Manual handling forms an important part of a health care worker's daily routine. Faulty techniques may result in musculoskeletal injuries in health workers and further injury to patients.

Objectives: In our study, we assessed the techniques of patient moving and handling by health care workers in our hospital.

Avoid post operative bracing to reduce ACL rerupture rates.

Purpose: It has been quoted that the graft is more prone to injury in the early stages of ligamentization between 3 and 6 months when the muscles are weak and compliance with post-op protocol is waning. Purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome of avoiding postoperative bracing following ACL reconstruction and early enhanced recovery protocol on the reinjuries of graft.

Methods: Thirty-two consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction by a single surgeon in the same specialist center between October 2015 and May 2017 were included in the study.

Total knee replacement in the obese patient: comparing computer assisted and conventional technique.

Purpose: Obesity is being considered a "global epidemic." Surgical procedures are rendered more difficult in obese patients. We aimed to see whether any benefits were evident with use of computer navigation during total knee replacement in these cases.

Computer navigation of soft tissues in total knee replacement.

Following the success of computer navigation in producing consistently accurate alignment, the focus has shifted to use of these techniques for soft tissue assessment during total knee replacement (TKR). We undertook a prospectively randomized clinical study to compare two methods of tissue balancing in TKR. One method, called bone referencing (BR) employed independent cutting of the femur and tibia followed by subjective assessment with trial prostheses and soft tissue release as deemed necessary.

Does computer navigation in total knee arthroplasty improve patient outcome at midterm follow-up?

Computer navigation assistance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) results in consistently accurate alignment of prostheses. We aimed to compare the outcome of computer-navigated and conventional TKA and to analyse the radiologically malaligned knees. We analysed 637 primary TKA, carried out by a single surgeon, over five consecutive years and divided them into two cohorts: group 1 = STA (standard instrumentation) and group 2 = CAS (computer-assisted surgery).
