Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have become central to the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, with proven benefits in glycemic control, weight loss, and cardiometabolic risk reduction. Despite emerging hypotheses suggesting possible skeletal benefits, long-term effects of GLP-1 RA exposure on…

Approximately 15–20% of patients undergoing conventional total knee arthroplasty (cTKA) report dissatisfaction one year after surgery. Robotic-assisted TKA (raTKA) provides greater precision in bone resection and ligament balancing, which may improve patient outcomes and satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of raTKA on…

Single-sport specialization during adolescence has been increasingly adopted by youth athletes in pursuit of collegiate scholarships and professional careers. However, this early commitment to one sport has been associated with increased exposure to repetitive stress, potentially contributing to higher injury rates at elite levels. While the short-term musculoskeletal risks of…

Electronic bicycle (E-bike) use is on the rise in the United States. E-bikes are a convenient, cost-effective, environmentally friendly transportation option that do not require a license to operate. However, these conveniences come with significant injury risks. The aim of this study is to quantify the rates and patterns of orthopaedic injuries related to e-bike use compared…

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Registry Program highlighted new findings from the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) during the 2026 AAOS Annual Meeting in New Orleans.  Analyses presented at the meeting examined implant survivorship, complication trends, and outcomes associated with…

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Registry Program released the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) 2024 Annual Report Supplement during the AAOS 2025 Annual Meeting in San Diego.

Prior authorization (PA) has been implemented by payors in an effort to reduce unnecessary healthcare utilization. However, obtaining PA has been shown to increase the administrative burden and delay access to care. To our knowledge, the financial burden and cost-effectiveness of PA in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is yet to be determined.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1A) have advanced the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Given the prevalence of these conditions among candidates for total joint arthroplasty (TJA), managing GLP-1A in the perioperative period is crucial to minimize complications.

Hip and knee arthritis is debilitating for patients but the decreased activity level and independence may also affect spouses. Spouses of individuals who have undergone THA or TKA often assume caregiving roles during the postoperative rehabilitation period but may benefit in the long term from increased patient activity levels.

Soccer is one of the most popular youth sports in the United States and worldwide. Due to growing concerns regarding repeated head trauma, in 2015 the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) banned headers for athletes age 10 and under and limited athletes age 11 to 13 to practicing headers for 30 minutes per week.
