Rutgers Institute for Health researchers found that the use of biologic and targeted therapies for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis surpassed more typical therapies in recent years.
According to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control: 45% of playground injuries are considered severe—fractures, dislocations, and concussions. So it’s important for parents and caregivers to be aware of the physical cues that accompany common pediatric injuries.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) announced 30 recipients of the 2025 AAOS IDEA Grant Program®, which aims to reduce existing disparities in orthopaedics and foster visible and measurable change in the field. The recipients were selected based on the merits of their initiatives to reduce bias and discriminatory practices or advance diversity, equity, and/or inclusion (DEI) within the orthopaedic specialty. Since its launch in 2022, the AAOS IDEA Grant Program has helped fund nearly 75 programs across the country, contributing over $900,000 to date.
UCLA researchers have uncovered a surprising new role for netrin1, a crucial protein in neural development, as a regulator that limits bone morphogenetic protein signaling in the developing spinal cord.
Bryanna D. Vesely, DPM, MPH, performed the first minimally invasive Haglund's repair surgery on the Virginia Peninsula using the Arthrex MIS FiberTak Achilles SpeedBridge Implant Repair System.

The American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) surpassed 4 million hip and knee arthroplasty procedures in its database in March, a milestone announced in the 11th edition of its Annual Report released today. Published by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Registry Program, the 2024 report analyzes more than 3.7 million of those procedures and reflects data submitted between 2012-2023 from 1,447 institutions across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It marks an 18% growth in procedures from the previous year.
In APL Bioengineering, researchers employed analysis tools and machine learning algorithms to identify two genes linked to rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis that could serve as diagnostic tools and potential targets for treatments. Drawing from a large database of genetic information, they gathered dozens of sequenced genomes from people with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis to look for any similarities, using recently developed computational methods to narrow down their search. They identified genes ATXN2L and MMP14 as significantly associated with the progression of both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis.
Hackensack University Medical Center now offering robotically assisted knee replacement surgery with the TMINI Miniature Robotic System.
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have developed a breakthrough three-dimensional (3D) printing technique for generating realistic models of the human femur that could make it easier and less expensive to conduct biomechanical research.
Setting out to prove that movement indeed is medicine for older adults with chronic knee and hip pain, Wake Forest University researchers have received a $5.7 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to conduct a five-year study.
Are back problems influenced by your gut? Researchers at Rush think there may be a connection.
People who have multiple orthopedic surgeries during the same hospital stay are more likely to suffer malnutrition due to repeated or prolonged fasting, which can slow recovery and increase the risk of death, according to a study of more than 28 million patients presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2024 annual meeting.
