An anterior cruciate ligament injury is a serious knee injury that often affects young, physically active people. On April 30, Dzan Rizvanovic will defend his thesis "Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: rationale for graft choice and treatment of associated injuries" in which he has...

Trimming a degenerated meniscus, or partial meniscectomy, is one the most common orthopedic surgeries in the world. Partial meniscectomy does not improve patient symptoms or function, reveals a 10-year follow-up of the FIDELITY, a placebo-surgery controlled trial published in the New England Journal...

Knee osteoarthritis is a complex disease that affects the whole joint, including bone, cartilage, ligaments and muscles.

A major review of 217 trials shows that aerobic exercise is the most effective option for managing knee osteoarthritis. Activities like walking, cycling, and swimming outperformed other exercise types in reducing pain and improving movement.

SMART breakthrough offers a promising pathway toward improved manufacturing of high-quality cells for regenerative therapies to treat joint diseases.

The idea is to place a patient's cells onto a supporting material and grow them in the right conditions so they can form tissues such as bone, muscle, or cartilage.

Cartilage damage has long been a challenge in regenerative medicine research, due to the avascular nature of cartilage tissue and its intrinsically limited reparative capacity.

A simple injection that blocks an age-linked protein regrows knee cartilage in older mice and prevents arthritis after knee damage.
