Effects of Different Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Intensities and Durations on a Post-Traumatic Knee Joint Contracture Model in Rats.
Ultrasound Med Biol
February 2025
Department of Motor Function Analysis, Human Health Sciences, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapeutic effects on knee joint dysfunction after immobilization following trauma and to identify the optimum LIPUS intensity and duration.
Methods: A knee post-traumatic joint contracture (PTJC) model was established in male Wistar rats divided into three groups: front irradiation (n = 4), medial irradiation (n = 3), and sham (n = 3). LIPUS irradiation was performed for 20 min/day (30 mW/cm [spatial average temporal average] SATA, 1 MHz, duty cycle of 20%, 5 times/week, for 2 weeks).
Algofunctional outcome after intra-articular bipolar pulsed radiofrequency ablation for pain in osteoarthritis of the knee: A retrospective study.

Department of Algology, Mersin City Training and Research Hospital, Mersin, Türkiye.
There is a paucity of research and evidence, regarding the effectiveness of applying bipolar pulsed radiofrequency (bPRF) in osteoarthritis of the knee. This study aimed to search for the impact of intra-articular bPRF (IA-bPRF) on pain, functionality, and quality of life in individuals with advanced knee osteoarthritis. A total of 35 patients experiencing knee pain were included in the study.

Cementless, Cruciate-Retaining Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Conventional Instrumentation: Technical Pearls and Intraoperative Considerations.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland.
Article Synopsis
- Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgical procedure for patients with severe knee osteoarthritis, especially when non-surgical treatments fail, leading to significant improvements in pain, function, and quality of life.
- The procedure can use various components (cemented, cementless, or a hybrid) and is generally performed with a focus on mechanical alignment, although newer alignment strategies like gap and kinematic balancing are showing promising results in early studies.
- The preferred surgical technique for cementless TKA involves a specific patient positioning and incision approach, starting with the application of a thigh tourniquet and a parapatellar incision, ensuring proper alignment and access during the surgery.*
The combined application of pulsed electromagnetic fields and platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of early-stage knee osteoarthritis: A randomized clinical trial.
Medicine (Baltimore)
August 2024
Department of Orthopedics Surgery, Central Hospital Affiliated to Shenyang Medical College, Shenyang, China.
Background: This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of combined treatment with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in improving pain and functional mobility among patients with early-stage knee osteoarthritis (KOA). We hypothesize that this combined therapy can yield superior treatment outcomes.
Methods: Based on the different treatment regimens, we divided 48 patients diagnosed with Kellgren-Lawrence grades I-III KOA into 3 groups: the PRP group, the PEMFs group, and the PRP + PEMFs group.
