When it comes to knee injuries, none are more common than ones related to the anterior cruciate ligament, commonly called the ACL. This major band of supportive tissue in the knee is injured so frequently that research available at the National Library of Medicine shows that nearly 1 out of every 3,...

Patient-reported knee-related rating scores and scales are widely used in reporting the clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery. Understanding the psychometric properties of such measures is vital to recognizing the limitations that such measures may confer. The aim of this stu...

Pain in the back of the knee when straightening the leg is called posterior knee pain. Finding the cause can be difficult as it can come from problems with the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, or vascular system.

If successfully developed, BioLig may provide an alternative to current surgical techniques for knee ligament repair, restoring stability in the knee without harvesting tissue from another area of the joint.

The shape of a person's kneecap could be an indicator of whether they're more at risk of developing osteoarthritis, according to a new study from The Australian National University (ANU) published in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage.

For patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), methotrexate added to usual medication is associated with a significant reduction in pain and improvement in stiffness and function at six months, according to a study published online July 30 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

HYALEX Cartilage is engineered to replicate the structure and function of hyaline cartilage, the strong and flexible tissue that enables the smooth and pain-free movement of your joints.

Physiochemical tissue inducers and mechanical stimulation are both efficient variables in cartilage tissue fabrication and regeneration. In the presence of biomolecules, decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) may trigger and enhance stem cell proliferation and differentiation.

A novel method analyses fingerprint-like patterns to assess the ability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to repair cartilage.

At NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, the regenerative power of particulated juvenile articular cartilage (PJAC) allograft transplantation is being harnessed to restore the knees of athletes with patellofemoral articular cartilage defects, a common cause of knee pain and a challenging condition to t...
