Knee ligament tests are essential diagnostic tools used by healthcare providers to pinpoint injuries in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and lateral collateral ligament (LCL)-which are crucial for knee stability. These manual ...

A new study led by Marshall University researchers found that patients who underwent knee surgery using a minimally invasive "needle arthroscopy" technique used significantly fewer opioids after surgery compared to those treated with standard arthroscopy.

One of the largest MRI-based studies comparing knee injuries between men and women reveals surprising differences in injury patterns based on gender and age. The findings, which can be used to improve risk assessment and develop early intervention strategies, will be presented today at the annual me...

Knee pain can point to various underlying issues, and its specific location often offers clues about the cause. Understanding these location-specific insights can help in identifying potential conditions such as bursitis, arthritis, or ligament injuries.

Knee pain worse at night? Arthritis and a few other conditions related to inflammation or injury can cause knee pain to worsen at night. This nighttim...

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.
