For older adults undergoing hemiarthroplasty for hip fracture, intraoperative use of liposomal bupivacaine does not improve pain scores or other relevant outcomes, compared to conventional bupivacaine ...

While a number of groups are developing thought-controlled prosthetic hands, most of the devices require electrodes or other relatively fiddly electronics to be implanted in the amputee's body.

In the newest breakthrough in prosthetic technology, researchers in Italy have unveiled a robotic hand that is magnetically controlled. There are no wires or electrical cables to be seen here ...

The team claims the functional prosthesis meets the needs of a person who has lost a hand. Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, Pisa Researchers have created the first prosthetic hand ...

Not having surgery is always an option. Hip replacement surgery is almost never a mandatory treatment; rather it is an elective condition that people can choose to have if the timing is right for them ...

It is the first magnetically controlled prosthetic hand that allows amputees to reproduce all movements simply by thinking and to control the force applied when grasping fragile objects.

Background: The clinical efficacy of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), hemiarthroplasty (HA), and non-surgical management in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) is inconclusive. This ...

Consequently the consensus opinion among orthopedic surgeons is to treat these injuries with either hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty. Distinguishing the superior option among those ...

A total ankle replacement surgery (also known as a total ankle arthroplasty) can benefit people with chronic ankle pain or disability. Following this operation, physical therapy (PT) typically plays ...
