Medical device Investigators at HSS set out to determine if the use of computer navigation or robotic-arm assistance during surgery reduced the need for MUA.
Key Points:
- Investigators at HSS set out to determine if the use of computer navigation or robotic-arm assistance during surgery reduced the need for MUA.
- "These results highlight the potential benefits of incorporating technological advancements into knee replacement surgery, offering improved outcomes and reducing the need for additional interventions such as MUA," Dr. Jerabek said.
- The second study compared short-term outcomes of the anterior versus the posterior approach in robotic-assisted total hip replacement (THR) surgery.
- "As the use of robotic assistance in joint replacement surgery becomes more common, future studies should evaluate outcomes over longer periods of time," concluded Dr. Mayman.

Dentistry NEW YORK, Jan. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Human growth hormone has long been used to treat certain medical conditions in children. New research from surgeon-scientists at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) shows that there may be a previously unknown complication.
Key Points:
- In children, human growth hormone therapy has been used for decades to treat growth hormone deficiency due to underlying medical conditions such as Turner syndrome, very small weight at birth, Prader-Willi syndrome and chronic renal insufficiency.
- Given the volume of patients we treat, we were able to investigate the relationship between tibia growth plate fractures and growth hormone therapy in pediatric patients."
- Therefore, the odds of taking growth hormone therapy were 15 times higher among patients with proximal tibia physeal avulsion fractures than the comparison group.
- "Further research is required to tease out whether limiting specific high-impact sports will mitigate the risk of tibia growth plate fractures in active children and adolescents."

Key Points:
- "However, many older adults with arthritis do not get recommended levels of physical activity.
- For clinicians, the new study could serve as a conversation starter with older patients, Dr. Lieber says.
- However, the strength of the relationship between negative self-perceptions of aging and physical activity was weaker when self-perceptions of general health were taken into consideration.
- "Our findings suggest that interventions to improve physical activity in patients with arthritis may need to target self-perceptions of aging, as well as general health," Dr. Lieber says.
