Objective To determine whether autograft type (hamstring, patellar or quadriceps tendon) is associated with risk of revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) or contralateral ACLR in football players.

Frontal motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) are the most common crash configuration and are a well-recognized mechanism for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury through direct dashboard impact. These "dashboard knee" injuries may initially present with subtle clinical findings yet progress...

Using a decade of research across human motion analysis, cadaveric testing (using donated human knees for experiments) and computer modeling, they are developing an AI-powered wearable that could identify risky movement patterns and provide real-time feedback to help athletes avoid injury.

This study suggests that lab-based tests on cultured MSCs may predict MSC potency, so that only MSCs with enhanced therapeutic potential can ultimately be preselected for clinical application in KOA patients.

For decades, people exercising have been told one simple rule: Never let your knees go over your toes. During lunges, squats and many other exercises, well-meaning coaches, trainers and physical therapists repeated this advice so often that it became fitness folklore.

Knee osteoarthritis can seriously affect mobility and quality of life, but its progression isn’t completely out of your control. Exercise, stronger leg muscles, a healthier diet, and even modest weight loss can dramatically reduce stress on the knees and help keep pain in check.

Scientists have created an injectable gel that can remain inside arthritic joints for weeks, slowly releasing medication while also improving lubrication. The approach could make it easier to deliver disease-modifying drugs directly where they are needed while limiting exposure elsewhere in the body...

Extracellular vesicles from menstrual blood stem cells promoted cartilage production in human tissues, offering a potential non-invasively sourced therapy for osteoarthritis.

The 4DCARE project is advancing the treatment of joint injuries by manufacturing functional living tissues capable of regenerating cartilaginous tissue.

In this episode of "Tomorrow`s Cure," orthopedic researchers from Mayo Clinic and Mass General Brigham discuss RECLAIM, an investigational regenerative medicine approach designed to help restore damaged cartilage.
