Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a highly prevalent degenerative joint disease worldwide and an important cause of disability. Currently, medication and surgical interventions are commonly used in clinical practice, but there are limitations such as significant side effects and high medical costs. Tai […]

: Oxidative stress and inflammation contribute to osteoporosis. Berries provide polyphenols especially anthocyanins that may modulate bone remodeling. This review is the first to synthesize evidence specifically on berries and bone health, integrating human, animal, and in vitro data under the […]

Later-stage exercise interventions refer to rehabilitation exercises implemented after the initial healing phase. Following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), patients generally begin these high-intensity exercises at the 2-month mark. Nevertheless, the duration of these exercise programs varies across […]

Complex distal tibial injuries with segmental bone loss, joint destruction, and osteomyelitis present a formidable limb salvage challenge. A novel technique using circular external fixation with trifocal balanced cable transport combined with primary ankle arthrodesis is described. This technique […]

Most patients recover well following fingertip injuries. Outcomes vary along a spectrum, influenced by both pathophysiological severity and psychosocial factors, which strongly influence patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). General instruments (e.g., Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and […]

Operative Repair of Supination Adduction Ankle Fracture - Surgical Technique
