How to identify and treat inner knee pain
The inner or medial knee refers to the part closest to the other knee. Injuries and arthritis are two possible causes of inner knee pain. Treatment options depend on the cause and include warm or cold packs, exercise, and medication.
Boost Your Mobility With These Gait Training Exercises
Gait training exercises are movements designed to help improve strength, balance and coordination when walking. They may be part of a physical therapy program for a person recovering from a stroke, an injury, or surgery, as well as those dealing with a chronic condition that affects their ability to walk.
Minimally invasive procedure relieves knee arthritis
Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is an innovative minimally invasive therapy for patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. The genicular arteries have several branches that form a network around the knee joint. These vessels are altered in patients suffering from osteoarthritis.
Proximal femoral replacement may effectively salvage complex revision THA cases
Data presented at the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons Annual Meeting showed proximal femoral replacement may be a reasonable salvage option in complex revision total hip arthroplasty cases.
Does altered gait following anterior cruciate ligament surgery contribute to additional knee problems?
For people with an injured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee, surgical ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is an effective treatment for restoring joint stability. However, many treated patients still develop additional long-term knee problems, such as knee osteoarthritis.
Neuropathic pain drugs linked to higher hip fracture risk in seniors
A new study by Monash University medicine safety experts found the use of gabapentinoids—medicines widely used to treat neuropathic pain—increased the risk of hip fractures, especially in older patients who were frail or had kidney disease.
Examination of the Knee
A knee examination is usually the first step in determining the cause of knee pain. During this exam, your healthcare provider may do knee tests designed to evaluate knee function and range of motion.
Use of gabapentinoids may be associated with increased risk of hip fracture
According to published results, the use of gabapentinoids may be associated with an increased risk of hip fractures in older, frail patients and patients with chronic kidney disease.
