Researchers examined the sex of the surgeon and the sex of the patient in over a million surgeries and found that female patients with male doctors fared slightly worse than any other combination. The reason for the disparity likely comes down to communication and relationship-building.

Initially focused on bone regeneration, Osteopore has received major regulatory approvals for their implants. However, their technology also holds promise for soft tissue regeneration, including shoulder rotator cuff tendon repair and cartilage regeneration.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have developed a protein-based hydrogel that is highly adapted for articular cartilage repair.

EpiBone has received Investigational New Drug (IND) clearance from the FDA to begin testing its lab-grown knee cartilage in humans.

A previously unstudied protein in the framework of osteoarthritis may be critical in the prevention of the disease, according to groundbreaking new research published in the journal Science Advances, which included work by Justin Parreno, an assistant professor at the University of Delaware.

Protein factors along the skeletal stem cell lineage tree may facilitate regeneration of skeletal tissue.These stem cells have the ability to regenerate local bone and cartilage.

Activation of the Hedgehog signalling pathway through cilia holds promise for promoting cartilage repair and overcoming growth plate injuries.

Results presented here showed that severe chondral defects are common in rotational and contact sport athletes following hip arthroscopy.

Sports hernias are a complex cause of chronic groin pain in athletes, posing diagnostic and treatment challenges for clinicians. This review article synthesizes current knowledge on sports hernias, exploring pathogenesis, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies.

Researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine have developed panels of protein biomarkers present in teens and young adults that distinguish individuals with healthy hips from those with developmental dysplasia of the hip, also known as hip dysplasia, which often progresses to hip o...

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a complex disorder that refers to different hip problems, ranging from neonatal instability to acetabular or femoral dysplasia, hip subluxation, and hip dislocation.
