University of Montana researchers and their partners have found a new method to generate human cartilage of the head and neck.

The study is testing a treatment for patellofemoral osteoarthritis, which causes swelling and pain in the front of the knee joint.

Published results showed arthroscopic correction was associated with favorable outcomes for patients with femoroacetabular impingement despite a similar progression of osteoarthritis vs. patients who received nonoperative treatment.

Preservative hip arthroscopy with or without osteotomy yielded high rates of return to sport in young patients.

This study aimed to investigate if there is a relationship between cam femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (cam-FAIS) and chronic anterior knee pain (AKP).

Although high-energy trauma mechanisms are generally considered to cause traumatic posterior hip dislocations, femoroacetabular variations are assumed to contribute to low-impact hip dislocations.

Research carried out by the New York-based Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) found that 25% of patients with hip impingements who underwent an arthroscopic procedure saw a slow-down in osteoarthritis development.

In this video from the Arthroscopy Association of North America Annual Meeting, Mario Hevesi, MD, PhD, discussed arthroscopic lengthening of the iliopsoas tendon following total hip arthroplasty for patients with tendonitis.

Patient outcome scores 6 months after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement were significantly associated with 10-year outcomes and conversion to total hip arthroplasty, according to presented results.
