The combination of robotics and patient-specific instrumentation may create a parallel strategy for care. Vendor programs and care pathways may curb the cost of robotic-assisted surgery.

People with no knee cartilage often need surgical treatments like total knee replacement, as the body can't naturally regenerate cartilage. Joint injections like corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid can reduce pain and swelling in the knee. Losing weight and strengthening muscles around the k...

Injure a tendon and you might not notice right away, but beware: These injuries often fail to heal properly, putting everyday activities at risk. Tendons connect your muscles and your bones. Your ability to move your body is at risk when tendon tissue becomes inflamed, ruptures or breaks down. You m...

Results showed chondral defects of the knee treated with matrix-assisted autologous chondrocyte implantation may yield a high rate of patient satisfaction and return to sports in a community practice.

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.
