HSS researchers used AI to identify two pain archetypes in patients who had a knee replacement and the most significant predictive factors for severe pain after surgery. Risk factors included younger age, greater physical/mental impairment, higher BMI, and preoperative opioid or gabapentinoid use.
Two studies by scientists at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) offer possible insights into treating mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), including a potential blood biomarker for injury assessment that could shed light on the role of inflammation, and evidence supporting the use of amitriptyline, historically used as an anti-depressant, but now commonly used for migraine relief, to speed recovery. The research team shared their results today at the American Academy of Neurology 2025 annual meeting.
Two new studies led by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have uncovered key biological mechanisms driving systemic sclerosis (SSc), or scleroderma – a rare and often devastating autoimmune disease that causes fibrosis (tissue hardening) and inflammation. The research, published in the March issue of the Journal of Experimental Medicine, helps explain why the disease disproportionately affects women and reveals potential treatment targets, some of which are already in development.
David M. Dines, MD, a sports medicine surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery and HSS Long Island, received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Long Island Business News at the publication's Health Care Heroes Awards ceremony on February 28.
After years of leg pain, amputation and osseointegration have restored quality of life for a Long Island man. Osseointegration enables a prosthetic limb to be attached directly to the bone of someone with an amputation, providing improved mobility and comfort compared to a standard socket prosthesis.
A novel study at HSS Florida, the West Palm Beach location of Hospital for Special Surgery, is utilizing a high-tech golf simulator to evaluate players with arthritis both before and after joint replacement surgery.
A study at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) comparing robotic-assisted navigation (RAN) to the use of augmented reality (AR) in spine surgery found that both techniques demonstrate excellent accuracy and safety for pedicle screw placement. The research was published online ahead of print in the journal Spine.
Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) experts discuss developmental milestones and the importance of identifying a delay early so the child can receive services before age 3 — when the brain has the greatest ability to adapt. Early treatment can completely change a child’s developmental trajectory.

SciRhom GmbH, a biotech startup co-founded by Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), recently secured a 63 million euro (US$70 million) Series A financing round to support the clinical development of its novel drug candidate, SR-878. The round was co-led by Andera Partners, Kurma Partners, Hadean Ventures, MIG Capital, and Wellington Partners, with participation from new investor Bayern Kapital and existing investors. This news follows the company’s recently received approval from Austrian regulatory authorities (BASG/AGES) required to commence its first-in-human Phase I clinical trial in Europe this fall.
Nicholas Sama, MD, director of Orthopedic Trauma at HSS Florida, the West Palm Beach location of Hospital for Special Surgery, offers advice to give patients the best chance for proper treatment, healthy healing and a good medical outcome following a bone fracture.
Up to 18% of patients undergoing ACL reconstruction experience graft failure and require revision surgery, which is known to increase the risk of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA).
At Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), a 3D printer is manufacturing custom-made joint replacements for the most complex cases when a standard implant won’t work. HSS was the first hospital in the U.S. to house a 3D printing facility onsite for custom implants, in collaboration with LimaCorporate (recently acquired by Enovis).
The use of robotics is becoming increasingly common in joint replacement, but more research is needed to quantify its benefits.
Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are more accurate than expected when asked to answer medical questions about spine surgery, but patients still need to use extreme caution when turning to these tools for help with medical decision-making.
Forgoing a night in the hospital has become increasingly common after knee replacement. HSS experts discuss advances in technology, surgical technique and pain management that make it possible.
At this year’s American College of Rheumatology (ACR) annual meeting, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) presented a number of important studies focused on reproductive health for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other rheumatic diseases, including issues related to fertility, sexual function, use of contraception and HPV vaccination.
Investigators from the Antiphospholipid Syndrome Alliance for Clinical Trials and International Networking (APS ACTION) presented new research findings in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2023, the ACR’s annual meeting.
People with arthritis who report more negative feelings about how they are aging tend to get less physical activity and perceive themselves as less healthy, according to a new study by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) and Weill Cornell Medicine.
Study reveals significant psychological impact of maintaining employment while coping with inflammatory arthritis.
