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.

Japanese researchers are testing a surprising, minimally invasive way to repair spine fractures. A team at Osaka Metropolitan University found that stem cells from fat tissue can repair breaks similar to those common in people with the bone-weakening disease osteoporosis.

Anika Therapeutics is pioneering advancements in cartilage repair with its innovative product, Hyalofast. This breakthrough technology employs resorbable hyaluronic acid to facilitate natural cartilage regeneration within a single surgical procedure.

Researchers at Texas A&M University have uncovered a key element of joint cartilage regrowth, which brings them one step closer to regrowing human limbs.

Despite many excellent properties, chitosan (CS) hydrogels are still limited in cartilage regeneration applications due to their low mechanical strength and inadequate degradation kinetics.

This study not only underscores the potential of the MI-hydrogel as a novel therapeutic platform but also introduces a new mechanism for tissue regeneration, paving the way for innovative approaches in regenerative medicine.

This review highlights the emerging role of stem cell-based strategies in articular cartilage regeneration.

The primary objective of the current study was to evaluate the FI/CFI of RCTs comparing HA and PT in the treatment of FAIS to determine the robustness of results reported to be statistically significant. The most important finding of the current study was that the median and mean CFI of included stu...

The most common indication for revision hip arthroscopy in the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement remains residual impingement. Capsular instability has significant consequences for function and may represent a subset of patients who demonstrate more dysfunction before and after revision arth...

Radiographs do not entirely capture the complexity of acetabular morphology. The purpose of this study was to establish normative three-dimensional (3D) acetabular morphology in young adults without hip disease and identify sex-specific differences in acetabular coverage.

Number of self-reported allergies is a simple, easily accessible measure that clinicians can use as a proxy measure of mental health that is predictive of patient-reported outcome measures prior to hip arthroscopy.
