Total Knee Replacement(TKR) is a viable treatment for symptomatic osteoarthritis of the knee refractory to conservative measures. In those with end-stage degenerative changes compromising the articular cartilage affecting multiple compartments of the knee, the literature has yet to identify a potentially viable alternative option for the regeneration of cartilage. Thus, TKA has demonstrated reproducible, long-term, … [Read more…]
Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most cost-effective and consistently successful surgeries performed in orthopedics. Patient-reported outcomes are shown to improve dramatically with respect to pain relief, functional restoration, and improved quality of life. TKA provides reliable outcomes for patients’ suffering from end-stage, tri-compartmental, degenerative osteoarthritis (OA). While OA affects millions of Americans, … [Read more…]
Avascular Necrosis (AVN)/Osteonecrosis of the hip commonly known as avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip, is the death of the femoral head as a result of vascular disruption. AVN of the hip results in pain around the hip which is insidious in onset. The cause is generally multifactorial and more commonly seen in males compared … [Read more…]
Osteonecrosis also known as avascular necrosis or aseptic necrosis, is a disease of impaired osseous blood flow. Osteonecrosis is not a specific disease entity but the final common pathway of a number of conditions mostly leading to an impairment of the blood supply to the bone Osteonecrosis of the hip commonly known as avascular necrosis … [Read more…]

Treatment of Lateral Collateral Ligament Injury/Lateral Collateral Ligament Injury is the primary varus stabilizer of the tibiofemoral joint. Diagnosing an injury to this ligament can be challenging in the setting of multi ligamentous trauma; however, failure to recognize these injuries can result in instability of the knee and unsatisfactory outcomes after cruciate ligament reconstruction. Recent … [Read more…]

Diagnosing an injury to this ligament can be challenging in the setting of multi ligamentous trauma; however, failure to recognize these injuries can result in instability of the knee and unsatisfactory outcomes after cruciate ligament reconstruction. Recent literature exploring … [Read more…]
