Cartilage repair with a hyaluronic acid-based scaffold and bone marrow aspirate concentrate may yield positive long-term outcomes.

Highly anticipated cartilage repair implant from CytexOrtho receives greenlight to move forward with human clinical trials.

With a goal of treating worn, arthritic hips without extensive surgery to replace them, scientists have programmed stem cells to grow new cartilage on a 3-D template shaped like the ball of a hip joint.

A novel method to enhance the ability of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to generate cartilage tissue by adding ascorbic acid during MSC expansion.

While hip arthroscopy (HA) has increased in recent years, limited data exists regarding utilization and outcomes among racial groups. The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was queried for patients who underwent HA from 2006 to 2017.

The number of hip arthroscopies performed in the United States has grown significantly over the past several decades, with evolving indications and emerging techniques.

Traditional hip arthroscopy relies on axial distraction, which is appropriate in many cases. However, it provides insufficient working area and visualization in patients with certain anatomy, risking iatrogenic damage to the labrum and femoral head and poorer outcomes. We present a technique of safe...

Compared with total hip arthroplasty, hip arthroscopy is a relatively new procedure, and as such, hip-spine syndrome in young adults is an emerging topic of research. In the past decade, our understanding of spinopelvic alignment has improved the stability and survivorship of hip replacements in pat...

The capsule management during hip arthroscopy continues to be an important concern independent of the approach (inside-out or outside-in). Preserving most of the anatomy of the capsule ligaments is challenging when we encounter hips with large cam deformities. T-capsulotomy is a good option to impro...

Growing pains are common in maturing children, but sometimes this growth can be irregular and cause injury. Discoid lateral meniscus (DLM), a misshapen knee cartilage, is one such occurrence that can degenerate into osteochondritis dissecans, a joint disorder where the bone and joint begin to separa...
