Introduction: Young adult hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a noteworthy problem, although rarer than the elderly form of the disease, causing limitations in social and working activities and prospects. Treatment options are scarce and surgical procedures, frequently necessary, imply the major drawback of revising the prostheses periodically, whereas chronic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) consumption may provoke side effects. To explore alternative options to both surgery and long-term NSAID use, especially in the case of young patients, viscosupplementation seems to appear as an appropriate tool to relieve pain, ameliorate the function and delay surgery.
Aim Of The Study: In this study we tackle the issue of the use of hyaluronic acid (HA) injections in young adults with symptomatic hip OA.
Results And Conclusions: These data, collected from 78 young patients, show that viscosupplementation is a safe procedure, and may provide significant relief from pain and functional recovery. Larger controlled studies are needed to establish otpimal treatment strategies and clinical factors predictive of treatment response.

The response to pericapsular soft tissue and pelvic realignment therapy may be partially predicted by the relevant factors influencing the program's response of the candidates with hip osteoarthritis for joint replacement.

Objective: To explore the risk factors for discontinuation of pericapsular soft tissue and pelvic realignment (PSTP-R) therapy derived from Shiatsu in the candidates with osteoarthritis for total hip replacement (THR) (i.e., candidates for total hip replacement) treated from 2017 to 2020, and to identify the effect modifiers of PSTP-R therapy for patients who continued therapy for 6 months.

Background: Previous clinical studies suggest that preserving the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is crucial for stable knee motion and long-term longevity of the reconstructed knee. The ACL damage or loss often occurs in advanced medial osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to investigate the correlation between ACL damage and varus deformity progression as a risk factor for ACL tears in knee OA.

Background: With the rising prevalence of obesity, surgeons are frequently confronted with the problem of treating osteoarthritis of the hip via arthroplasty (total hip arthroplasty) in severely obese patients. To reduce the surgical impact, minimal-invasive approaches are often chosen. For this reason, the direct anterior approach has gained popularity but is suspected of leading to more wound complications in obese patients, especially by Gram-negative pathogens.

Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics, LifeBridge Health, Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Background: As the use of robotics in total hip arthroplasty (THA) continues to gain popularity, differences in clinical outcomes when compared to manual techniques have remained unclear. This study aimed to compare postoperative complications between patients undergoing robotic-assisted techniques and manual THA for primary osteoarthritis at 90 days, 1 year, and 2 years.
Methods: Using an all-payer national database, we identified 405,048 patients who underwent either robotic-assisted or manual THA for primary osteoarthritis.
