The inner surface layer of human joints, the synovium, is a source of stem cells for the repair of articular cartilage defects.

In a recent study published in the journal Nutrients, researchers determined the impact of formononetin (FNT) on the metabolism, viability, and inflammation of chondrocytes to understand the association between beer consumption and osteoarthritis risk.

Kenneth R. Zaslav, MD, and colleagues randomly assigned 250 patients with articular cartilage and osteochondral defects and a Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade of 0, 2 or 3 to receive either an acellular implant made of aragonite (Agili-C, CartiHeal) or standard of care, including debridement and microfr...

Results published in Journal of Orthopedic Surgery showed that a thin, laser-etched osteochondral allograft yielded positive short-term clinical outcomes in isolated articular cartilage defects in the knee.

The majority of reasons that patients experience hip pain are mechanical, caused by either hip dysplasia or hip impingement. The goal of hip preservation is to correct the underlying pathology, whether arthroscopic or open, to help prevent hip replacement.

Tears of the gluteus medius and minimus are an important cause of recalcitrant greater trochanteric pain syndrome. Although endoscopic and open abductor repairs have demonstrated promising outcomes, the success of these techniques is dependent on the size of the tear and the quality of the tissue. I...
