Redefining the Acetabular Safe Zone with AI
Researchers from Mayo Clinic may have taken the first step in a very high tech way: They’ve used artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze thousands of post-THA radiographs and then calculate anteversion and inclination angles that redefine the concept of an acetabular safe zone.
Outcomes of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection of Knees in an Outpatient Clinic
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most frequently occurring degenerative joint disease. Treatments include both surgical and conservative interventions. Popular conservative treatments involve rest, oral anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, and injections. Intra-articular injections, specifically cortisone, have been a mainstay of conservative treatment. However, cortisone treatments of OA have certain limitations and have produced mixed results.
