* Avoiding Knee Replacement: Using Biologics, Osteotomies and Cartilage Restoration Procedures (Dr. Brian Cole) * 96% of runners return to same level after hip arthroscopy to treat femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) (Dr. Shane Nho)
* Is Younger Age a Risk Factor for Early Revision after Total Hip Replacement for Arthritis? Prior studies showed that patients who have replacement at a younger age are more at risk of having revision surgery earlier because they are more active than younger patients. Revision surgery can increase the risks and complication rates for patients. But a new study found there is no difference in revision rates based on a patient’s age. (Dr. Craig Della Valle)
