One potential strategy to decrease the risk of dislocation after revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the use of an abduction brace to limit flexion and adduction. The purpose of this study was to compare the dislocation rate after revision THA between patients treated with or without an abduction brace. Data were obtained from 1211 revision THAs performed in 610 women and 518 men who had a mean age of 64.7 years (range, 22-95 years) and were followed up for a minimum of 90 days. Five hundred two patients were braced, whereas 650 were not. The 90-day dislocation rate among patients who wore a brace was 5.2% compared with 5.7% in the nonbrace group (P = .70). Multivariate regression found no benefit to bracing (P = .37), while controlling for factors found to significantly affect dislocation rate in this population. Our data do not support the routine use of an abduction brace to aid in the prevention of dislocation.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on analyzing commonly searched questions regarding four treatments for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH): Pavlik harness, rhino brace, closed reduction surgery, and open reduction surgery.
- Researchers used Google to identify frequently asked questions and categorized them, noting a strong interest in specific activities patients can do, technical treatment details, and treatment indications.
- The findings revealed that questions about the Pavlik harness were significantly more prevalent than those about other treatments, highlighting the specific concerns parents have which can guide better consultations from healthcare providers.

The post birth revelation of child with physical anomaly taxes maternal hopes of a healthy child. However, unlike many other congenital anomalies, the Ponseti method has enabled an early and effective treatment of the clubfoot deformity. Our study aimed to assess the quality of life (QoL) of mothers with child born with idiopathic clubfoot through various stages of its management compared to a healthy infant.

Article Synopsis
- The pubic symphysis is a non-synovial joint that connects the sides of the pubic rami and can widen during pregnancy due to hormonal changes, with a gap over 10 mm termed as pubic symphysis diastasis.
- Pregnancy and childbirth are the primary causes of this condition, which can lead to severe pain and difficulty standing or moving, especially during the postpartum period.
- Diagnosis involves a thorough medical history, physical exams, and imaging, with treatment typically focusing on pain management, pelvic stabilization, and in some cases, physiotherapy or surgical intervention.
Effects of Lumbar Stabilization on Scapular Muscle Activity, Activation Onset Time, and Kinematics in Individuals with Scapular Dyskinesis.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of lumbar stabilization on muscle activity, muscle onset time, and scapular kinematics in individuals with scapular dyskinesis. Fourteen participants with scapular dyskinesis were recruited. Scapular muscle activity and activation onset time were measured by electromyography (EMG), and scapular upward rotation was measured by two-dimensional (2-D) Kinovia software, under two conditions: with and without abdominal bracing.

Background: Sleep disturbance is commonly reported by patients wearing an abduction brace after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Although a sling has been proven noninferior to an abduction brace for function and repair integrity, there is no evidence-based medical support for the advantage of the sling in improving sleep quality compared with a brace.
Purpose/hypothesis: This study aimed to compare the effects of a sling and an abduction brace on sleep quality and clinical outcomes after ARCR.
