Autologous chondrocyte implantation, or ACI, is a procedure that treats isolated areas of cartilage damage in the knee. Surgeons remove cartilage cells, grow them in a lab, and then implant them in the area where cartilage is needed.

Mechanical load plus a biomarker that reflects cartilage degradation may predict worsening cartilage thickness in knee osteoarthritis, according to a speaker at the 2021 OARSI World Congress.

Cartilage is a fascinating substance. It coats the ends of our bones, allowing them to glide by one another at joints like our elbows and our knees.

In a recent article published in biomaterials, a team led by researchers at osaka university and kyoto university demonstrated that using cartilage tissue derived from human stem cells could help prevent the loss of functionality from ivd degeneration.

Hip arthroscopy is a procedure commonly performed to correct various hip pathologies such as femoroacetabular impingement and labral tears. These hip pathologies commonly affect young, otherwise healthy patients. The recovery after hip arthroscopy can pre

The labrum is a ring of cartilage along the edge of the socket that gives stability to the hip joint and helps absorb shock. A labral tear is a tear of this cartilage. It can lead to pain, instability, and a clicking sound when moving your hip.Hip labral

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is caused when circulation within the femoral head is disrupted. Etiology of this disease is characterized by either traumatic events or atraumatic risk factors, such as chronic alcohol consumption or glucocorticoi

Pincer morphology refers to an abnormality of the acetabulum, in particular, acetabular overcoverage, which can be focal or global and is one cause of femoroacetabular impingement.

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has emerged as a common cause of hip pain, especially in young patients. While the exact cause of FAI is unknown, it is thought to result from repetitive microtrauma to the proximal femoral epiphysis leading to abnormal

Currently, hip replacements work very well, but if we can keep our own parts, it is all the better. Ultimately, that's the goal, and sometimes a few modifications using simple treatments can help an individual keep their own parts and become pain free
