Increased Use of Hip Arthroscopy in the United States from 2015 to 2023 and Projected Growth Through 2030
The TriNetX/U.S. Collaborative Networks database was used to identify patients aged 10 to 89 years who underwent hip arthroscopy in the United States from 2015 to 2023. Demographic information, such as age, sex, and body mass index, was analyzed. Prevalence (P), incidence proportion (IP), and incidence rate (IR) were measured. Regression modeling was used to project through 2030. Complications such as femoral neck fracture, hemarthrosis, septic arthritis, hip dislocation/instability, avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis (OA), and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) were also analyzed.
Understanding the Causes of Knee Pain on the Outer (Lateral) Part of Your Knee
An injury or arthritis most likely causes pain outside the knee. A doctor can determine the cause based on your other symptoms and the results of imaging tests.
Normal Hip Range of Motion
Range of motion (ROM) is a measurement of the distance and direction a joint can move to its full potential. Hip ROM is dictated by the ball-and-socket hip joint, which is made up of the femur (thighbone) and pelvis. They fit together in a way that allows for fluid, repeated motion—and a fair amount of wear and tear—but the joint isn’t indestructible.
Excellent results of restricted kinematic alignment total knee arthroplasty at a minimum of 10 years of follow up
While restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with cemented implants has been shown to provide a similar survivorship rate to mechanical alignment (MA) in the short term, no studies have reported on the long‐term survivorship and function.
How to identify and treat inner knee pain
The inner or medial knee refers to the part closest to the other knee. Injuries and arthritis are two possible causes of inner knee pain. Treatment options depend on the cause and include warm or cold packs, exercise, and medication.
