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.

To investigate the rates of complications within 2 years of initial surgery in patients who undergo primary autologous cell-based cartilage treatment and osteochondral autograft.

Many treatments exist for paediatric knee cartilage lesions, without a clear consensus or gold standard. This systematic review analyses surgical approaches and assesses outcome evidence.

Articular cartilage damage caused by trauma or degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis remains a major therapeutic challenge due to the tissue?s limited regenerative capacity. Traditional surgical interventions-including microfracture, autologous cho

Anika Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANIK), a global leader in osteoarthritis pain management and regenerative solutions, today announced topline results from its U.S. pivotal clinical trial of Hyalofast, a resorbable, hyaluronic acid scaffold used in conjun

New 5-Minute Routine May Help Naturally Support Knee Cartilage Health, Flexibility, and Joint Comfort at Any Age

Articular cartilage is a non-regenerating connective tissue due to its lack of lymphatic, neural, and vascular networks. Without any treatment, fibrotic scar tissue will fill in the defects.

A research team at the University of Missouri is working to predict which patients will benefit most from a specific type of cartilage transplant surgery, and some of the best clues may lie in patients' urine.

Among studies reporting labral repair and reconstruction during primary hip arthroscopy, the proportion of each procedure performed varies widely. These findings highlight the procedural heterogeneity across surgeons performing hip arthroscopy.

Arthroscopic surgery is a unique aspect of orthopedic surgical training, requiring a different set of skills than traditional open surgeries including bimanual dexterity and being able to work in a three-dimensional space using a two-dimensional screen1.

Femoral retroversion is increasingly recognized as a contributor to hip pain, impingement, and inferior outcomes after hip preservation surgery. Although its natural history remains incompletely defined, biomechanical studies show that retroversion decrea
