Study finds surprising differences in knee injuries between men and women
One of the largest MRI-based studies comparing knee injuries between men and women reveals surprising differences in injury patterns based on gender and age. The findings, which can be used to improve risk assessment and develop early intervention strategies, will be presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

Innovative imaging techniques show what happens inside bones during hip replacement surgery
Uncemented hip replacement surgery uses implants with roughened surfaces designed to allow the patient's bone to grow directly onto the implant, creating a strong, natural biological bond. Unlike cemented implants, which rely on bone cement that can degrade and fracture, uncemented implants depend on this natural bone integration for long-term stability.
