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.

Broken Hip Recovery
Recovering from a broken hip typically involves surgery followed by physical therapy to restore mobility and strength. Early movement after surgery is crucial for regaining function and preventing complications. While pain usually lessens after four to six weeks, it can take up to a year to fully recover from a broken hip.

One of the world`s most common knee surgeries does not help and may even be harmful
Trimming a degenerated meniscus, or partial meniscectomy, is one the most common orthopedic surgeries in the world. Partial meniscectomy does not improve patient symptoms or function, reveals a 10-year follow-up of the FIDELITY, a placebo-surgery controlled trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Will knee injections help your osteoarthritis? Here`s what the evidence says
Knee osteoarthritis is a complex disease that affects the whole joint, including bone, cartilage, ligaments and muscles. When pain persists, many people look for quick, convenient options, such as injections. Clinics offer several types of knee injections. Some are heavily marketed with promises to "repair" or "regenerate" the joint. But what does the evidence actually say about these claims, or the ability of knee injections to reduce pain and improve mobility?

Surgical management techniques for avascular necrosis of the femoral head: a systematic review
Early surgical intervention for avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head can preserve the hip joint and delay the need for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of various surgical modalities to treat femoral head AVN as assessed by THA-free survivorship, radiographic failure, and patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs).
