Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Epidural Anesthesia, Intra-articular Injection, and Local Infiltration Analgesia in Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome
Hip arthroscopic surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) often results in substantial postoperative pain, necessitating effective analgesic strategies. While epidural anesthesia (Epi), intra-articular injection (IA), and local infiltration analgesia (LIA) are commonly used, direct comparisons of their efficacy and safety in this population remain limited. This study aimed to retrospectively compare these three modalities with respect to postoperative pain, opioid consumption, and adverse events of Epi, IA, and LIA in patients undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery for FAIS.

What Is a Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, causes gradual pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint, limiting arm movement. It often affects people over 40 and can be linked to conditions like diabetes and thyroid disease.

ACL injuries may get an early-warning system through AI and wearable sensors
Using a decade of research across human motion analysis, cadaveric testing (using donated human knees for experiments) and computer modeling, they are developing an AI-powered wearable that could identify risky movement patterns and provide real-time feedback to help athletes avoid injury.

Exercise interventions for rotator cuff-related shoulder pain in middle-aged and older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain is highly prevalent in middle-aged and older adults and is associated with pain, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise-based interventions on pain, function, range of motion (ROM), and strength in middle-aged and older adults with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain.
