Robotic knee surgery is put to the test

from Health Report Hosted by Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Using NHS data, researchers compared full and partial knee replacements done with and without robotics to see if the outcomes were better for patients in the period following the procedures. A new study compares a less invasive method, called intrauterine insemination (IUI) as a first line treatment, against IVF alone. A white paper from the International Menopause Society seeks to clarify the understanding and impacts of musculoskeletal pain, migraine and pelvic pain during mid-life.
