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.

All specialties →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.
Rotator cuff augmentation
Patches and capsular reconstruction for rotator cuff tears.
Hip fracture care
Timing of surgery and orthogeriatric care for hip fracture.
Key point: Orthopedic surgeons should perform operative intervention within 24 to 48 hours after hip fracture and avoid preoperative traction.
ACL repair
Repairing rather than reconstructing the anterior cruciate ligament.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
"endoscopic spine surgery"[tiab] OR "full-endoscopic"[tiab] OR "biportal endoscopic"[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.
