Estimating elbow loading conditions through the motion behaviors of subchondral bone density during joint movements
Evaluating complicated stress across the elbow under joint motion remains difficult. Here, we aimed to evaluate the distribution of the subchondral bone density in the normal elbow bones and further characterize their spatial relationships during elbow motion to estimate the loading stress across the articular surface using three-dimensional computed tomography bone models.
Lidocaine may reduce pain at time of corticosteroid injection for hand, wrist conditions
Patients who received lidocaine at the time of corticosteroid injection for hand and wrist conditions experienced lower pain intensity compared with those who did not receive lidocaine, according to presented results.

How Fast Can Young TKA Patients Get Back to Sports?
That’s the question a team of Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve researchers tried to answer with a systematic review of the literature. The team was hoping to quantify to determine rates, timelines, and prognostic factors which can determine how fast young TKA patients return to work and / or return to sports. Their work, “Return to Sports and Return to Work After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,” was published in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery on July 27, 2023.
Navigation-assisted hip resurfacing may improve acetabular component positioning
