In a study published April 18 in the Journal of Orthopedic Research, Cornell researchers found that the same protein accumulates in the joints of both dogs and humans after ACL injury. That means using dogs as a model to study ACL injury?and the post-trau

While there are things that can be done to manage the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis, there is no cure, and many people experience persistent pain. As a result, an opportunity exists for as yet unproven treatments to enter the market, often before regula

Exercise therapy is suggested as a first-line treatment to improve joint pain and loss of function caused by osteoarthritis (OA), a musculoskeletal disorder that affects more than 595 million people worldwide. Yoga and strengthening exercises are both kno

Meniscus tears are common knee injuries that have long frustrated patients and doctors due to limited repair options. A new 3D-printed hydrogel made from cow meniscus could transform how these injuries heal, according to results of a pre-clinical study pu

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.
