Proximal humerus fractures are a common injury in the elderly, often resulting from low-energy falls. Managing these fractures presents unique challenges due to factors like osteoporosis, comorbidities, and limited bone quality. Traditional treatment methods, including conservative management and open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), sometimes fail to restore function or lead to complications. Recently, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has emerged as a promising surgical option...

Many patients are surprised to learn that osteoporosis  and osteoarthritis  are completely different conditions, even though both affect the bones and become more common with age. Knowing the distinction can help you understand your symptoms, guide your treatment options, and protect your long-term bone and joint health. What Is Osteoporosis? Osteoporosis  is a condition where the bones become weak, fragile, and more likely to break . It develops when the body loses bone faster than it can...

About two weeks ago I discovered two exciting areas of AI research could reshape the future of regenerative orthopedics: AI-based protein modeling  and virtual cell simulations. I knew that this technology was on the way but until recently I did no understand how far it had come. In a recent interview on A16Z with Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan (of Facebook fame) I learned what their Biohub project is working on in collaboration with multiple university research centers and it really got...
