In a retrospective review, researchers assessed the influence of preoperative peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) on postoperative opioid use following total shoulder and knee surgeries. Their findings,...
In a study examining postoperative outcomes 1 year after total knee arthroplasty, researchers explored how changes in pain and function relate to patient satisfaction—and which clinical factors may help...
A new study found that an AI system achieved diagnostic accuracy nearly identical to that of an experienced orthopedic surgeon in detecting distal radius fractures on wrist radiographs.
In a randomized controlled trial, buprenorphine patches failed to improve pain or functional outcomes compared with standard oral analgesics after rotator cuff surgery but may be linked to fewer transient...
The results of a recent retrospective study of patients older than 65 years of age with terrible triad elbow injuries showed a high prevalence of complex fracture patterns, particularly Mason Type III...
A retrospective cohort study found that patients on GLP-1 agonists had a lower risk of periprosthetic joint infection but a higher risk of periprosthetic fractures following total knee arthroplasty.
A prospective study assessed opioid-free anesthesia during total shoulder arthroplasty and found lower in-hospital opioid use and pain scores. This study will be presented on May 2, 2025, at the ASRA Annual...
Nerve blocks administered in the emergency department significantly reduce opioid use in patients with hip fractures, but their effectiveness may wane within 36 hours—before most patients reach surgery....
Researchers set out to determine the prevalence of pickleball-related fractures examined in United States emergency departments from 2002 to 2022, as well the demographics associated with those fractures....
