The implanted tendon graft undergoes a graft-maturation process known as ligamentization. However, the synthesis of type III collagen, which is typically found in weaker scar tissue, continues at higher concentrations, and the heterogeneous composition of collagen fibers of varying diameters of nati...

Multiligament knee injuries (MLKIs), although rare in athletes, can present distinct challenges beyond the high-energy trauma commonly seen in the general population. The combination of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury with other major knee stabilizers creates substantial treatment challenges...

For patients with knee osteoarthritis, aerobic activities such as walking, cycling, or swimming are likely to be the best exercise for improving pain, function, gait performance, and quality of life, finds a study published by The BMJ today.

Radiation therapy or radiotherapy is an underutilized noninvasive treatment option for osteoarthritis, but data from clinical trials have been mixed. A recent randomized controlled clinical trial demonstrated that a single course of low-dose radiation therapy was more effective in reducing pain and ...

A new study led by Yale School of Medicine's Department of Orthopedics & Rehabilitation unveiled key insights into the knee joint's vulnerability for young athletes who suffer anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries combined with medial meniscus tears.

People with a meniscal tear and osteoarthritis prescribed home exercises with or without physical therapy reported substantial improvements in knee pain, according to a new study led by Mass General Brigham researchers.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disorder causing significant pain and functional impairment. Intra-articular injections (IAI) under ultrasound (US) guidance have emerged as a key treatment for early-to-mid stage KOA due to enhanced precision and localized therapeutic effe...

To investigate the rates of complications within 2 years of initial surgery in patients who undergo primary autologous cell-based cartilage treatment and osteochondral autograft.

Many treatments exist for paediatric knee cartilage lesions, without a clear consensus or gold standard. This systematic review analyses surgical approaches and assesses outcome evidence.

Articular cartilage damage caused by trauma or degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis remains a major therapeutic challenge due to the tissue?s limited regenerative capacity. Traditional surgical interventions-including microfracture, autologous cho
