More orthopedics trends
All specialties →Disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs
Drugs studied to change the course of osteoarthritis, including GLP-1 drugs.
Key point: Given current data, conventional synthetic or biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs are not advised for people living with hand osteoarthritis.
3D-printed and patient-specific implants
3D printing and patient-specific implants in orthopaedics.
Periprosthetic joint infection
Diagnosis and treatment of infection after joint replacement.
Key point: Suppressive antimicrobial therapy for periprosthetic joint infection had pooled reported success rates of 74% after acute DAIR and 70% in chronic cases.
Robotic joint replacement
Robot-assisted knee and hip arthroplasty.
Platelet-rich plasma
PRP injections for osteoarthritis and tendon problems.
Endoscopic spine surgery
Full-endoscopic and biportal endoscopic spine surgery.
Key point: PIED, PTED, and UBE all provide effective decompression for lumbar lateral recess stenosis, with PTED showing the most consistent symptom improvement, safety, and efficiency.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
("artificial intelligence"[tiab] OR "deep learning"[tiab]) AND fracture*[tiab] AND (radiograph*[tiab] OR "X-ray"[tiab] OR detection[tiab])Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
