Objectives: Dietary interventions are a potentially powerful treatment option for knee osteoarthritis (OA). The objective of this study was to evaluate a well-formulated ketogenic diet (KD) in the context of knee OA histology and pain using the destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) mouse model and correlate with gut microbiome and systemic cytokine levels.

Methods: Adult male mice underwent unilateral DMM or sham surgery and were then fed eight weeks of KD or chow.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the release of the iliopsoas tendon at two levels: proximally at the pelvic brim and distally near the lesser trochanter.

Methods: The study was a randomized clinical trial. It was done to check the equivalence between two parallel groups of patients with DDH of grade 2 or more who underwent open reduction operations for their hips: Group 1, division of the iliopsoas tendon at the pelvic brim, and Group 2, division of the tendon at the lesser trochanter level.

Introduction: We propose and assess the biomechanical stability of medial column screw supplementation in a synthetic distal femur fracture model.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four low density synthetic femora modeling osteoporotic, intraarticular distal femur fractures with medial metaphyseal comminution were split into two fixation groups: (1) lateral locking distal femur plate (PA- plate alone) and (2) lateral locking distal femur plate with a 6.5 mm fully threaded medial cannulated screw (PWS- plate with screw).

Background: Involution or aging is the most common cause of lower eyelid entropion (in-turning of eyelid margin) in the elderly population. Various pathomechanisms have been postulated for its occurrence. Aging leads to laxity of tissues and loss of muscle tone.

While several studies have reported short-term clinical outcomes after medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) repair with suture tape augmentation, there is still a dearth of knowledge regarding midterm clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the midterm clinical outcomes of MPFL repair with suture tape augmentation in patients with patellar dislocation. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of patients who underwent MPFL repair with suture tape augmentation for at least one episode of patellar dislocation between 2015 and 2020.
