Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research Trends
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) represents a major cause of pain and disability among older adults. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a promising biologic therapy aimed at modulating inflammation and promoting cartilage repair. As the clinical use of PRP has expanded, a rapidly growing body of literature has developed examining its efficacy and mechanisms of action in knee OA. Bibliometric analysis provides a useful method to evaluate research productivity, collaborative networks, and emerging trends within a scientific field.
What Is Rotator Cuff Pain?
A partial or complete rotator cuff tear makes it difficult to raise and move your arm. You may have shoulder pain and arm weakness. Rotator cuff injuries are common, especially as you get older. Rest, pain relievers and physical therapy can help.
Templating software is advantageous when preoperative planning for shoulder arthroplasty
Templating software can be helpful in cases when a CT scan alone is insufficient for proper preoperative planning of total shoulder arthroplasty and intraoperative placement of TSA implants, particularly the glenoid component.
Delay in ACL surgery may increase risk of medial meniscus injury in pediatric patients
Pediatric and adolescent patients with ACL tears had a 2% increase in the risk of medial meniscal injury each week that a surgical procedure was delayed following the initial injury, according to published results.
Unproven ‘stem cell therapy’ claims spread beyond arthritis into COVID-19
Nature abhors a vacuum, and in the absence of evidence-based therapies to treat or prevent COVID-19, stem cell clinics with a menu of unsubstantiated direct-to-consumer therapies are more than willing to fill the gap.
