The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) represent the central pivot of the knee. The balance between these two ligaments impacts the tibiofemoral biomechanics. Each structure is the opposite of the other in terms of anteroposterior translation and rotation. The aim...

The knee joint assessment to detect anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury after trauma involves clinical examination and radiography. The gold standard method is doing arthroscopy. We did this study seeking to evaluate the effectiveness of other non-invasive diagnostic methods, including the Anter...

This study aimed to compare functional outcomes sequentially up to 1 year after combined anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) and isolated ACLR. Fifty patients who underwent ACLR with versus without ALLR were analyzed at four different tim...

From runner s knee to fraying cartilage, knees are involved in 40% of sports injuries. But it can be hard to pin down what s wrong, or what to do abou...

As you may be painfully aware, knee pain is very common. Global estimates suggest that more than 1 in 5 adults age 40 and over experience this type of joint problem, and knee pain in men and women in the United States increases steadily after age 60. Here are some of the best home-based ways to help...

As a cyclist, you probably know that you should always listen to your knees and the messages they send when they re not so happy. These messages show ...

Researchers have found that people with knee OA unconsciously believe that activity may be dangerous to their condition, despite medical advice telling them otherwise.

Advances in cartilage tissue engineering might now finally lead to the development of new cartilage repair products. To understand the potential in this field, it helps to consider the current landscape of tissue-engineered products for articular cartilage repair and particularly cell-based therapie...

Imagine a day when joints could heal themselves. Imagine a day when joints could heal themselves. At the first inkling of a creaky knee, patients could get a single shot in the joint that would not only stop their cartilage and bone from eroding, but kick start its regrowth. This may seem like a dre...
