New research released last week suggests that sex matters when it comes to surgery. 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.

Through a combination of  bench-to-bedside research, Provencher said the group was able to identify how to assess the pathology of shoulder dislocati...

Considering the significant impact of hypoxia on the development and maintenance of chondral tissue, replicating its effects on stem cells could be a potential approach for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA).

This study focuses on developing a synthetic, biocompatible graft for treating cartilage lesions.

Damaged cartilage in the knee can cause problems now and in the future. Cartilage restoration procedures can repair the damage and improve your long-term outlook.

The materials provide a scaffolding for stem cells, or other precursor cells, to grow into the wounded tissue and aid in repair.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) further revealed that the more mature cartilage grafts resulted in better tissue composition at the site of the implant, and even of the neighboring cartilage.

To evaluate clinical outcomes of hip arthroscopy for patients with global acetabular overcoverage as defined by a lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) >40? with coxa profunda, acetabular protrusio, and/or a negative T?nnis angle.

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a pathological condition characterized by abnormal contact between the femoral head and acetabulum, leading to hip joint damage and early osteoarthritis, particularly in young adults. Hip arthroscopy has emerged as a preferred technique for the diagnosis and man...

To compare minimum 2-year outcomes of concomitant hip arthroscopy (HA) with periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) versus isolated HA with capsular plication in patients with borderline hip dysplasia (BHD).

To evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PROs), achievement of clinically significant outcomes (CSOs), and reoperation-free survivorship at long-term follow-up after primary hip arthroscopy (HA) for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) in patients with and without preoperative low back pain (L...
