The Gut–Musculoskeletal Axis: Reframing Orthopaedic Disease Through the Microbiome Lens

Nepal Orthopedic Association Journal | 2026 | Bibek Banskota

Orthopaedic practice has traditionally focused on mechanical injury, degeneration, and localized inflammatory processes. Emerging evidence suggests that musculoskeletal health may be significantly influenced by systemic biological networks. Among these, the gut microbiome has gained attention as a key regulator of immune, metabolic, and endocrine pathways influencing bone and j...

Understanding Orthopaedic Infections: A Conceptual Approach

Orthopedic Reviews | 2024 | Gregory Laborde, Christopher Bloise, George Karam

Background Memorizing mounds of facts without having an effective conceptual framework to store them is often an unsuccessful learning style because memory frequently fails without understanding. To accomplish this goal, we offer a framework of ideas called “concept maps”. Of the many strategies for metacognition (that is, thinking about thinking), concept mapping is proven to...

Bacteria antibiotic resistance: New challenges and opportunities for implant‐associated orthopedic infections

Journal of Orthopaedic Research | 2018 | Bingyun Li, Thomas J. Webster

ABSTRACT There has been a dramatic increase in the emergence of antibiotic‐resistant bacterial strains, which has made antibiotic choices for infection control increasingly limited and more expensive. In the U.S. alone, antibiotic‐resistant bacteria cause at least 2 million infections and 23,000 deaths a year resulting in a $55–70 billion per year economic impact. Antibiotics a...
