Nearly 60% of Athletes Return to Sports After Partial Knee Replacement
Athletes needing knee replacement have new reason to be optimistic about returning to the sports they love.

The Impact of Bone Cement on Bone Healing in Revision Hip Arthroplasty for Periprosthetic Femur Fractures and Cortical Osteotomies
It is widely acknowledged that bone cement may infiltrate the fracture site during the implantation of a cemented hip stem for a periprosthetic fracture, potentially leading to non-union. This study sought to examine this hypothesis through a radiological analysis of patients who underwent cemented femoral stem implantation to stabilize a periprosthetic femur fracture or after a cortical osteotomy for stem extraction.
