For people with an injured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee, surgical ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is an effective treatment for restoring joint stability. However, many treated patients still develop additional long-term knee problems, such as knee osteoarthritis.

Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is an innovative minimally invasive therapy for patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. The genicular arteries have several branches that form a network around the knee joint. These vessels are altered in patients suffering from osteoarthritis.

Unicompartmental (partial) knee replacement (UKR) is a common procedure designed to relieve pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis. However, some patients experience poor outcomes, and it can be challenging for surgeons to determine why these issues arise. A new study from NDORMS, published in Th...

Genicular artery embolization (GEA) is effective and safe for reducing osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms among patients with knee OA that is refractory to conservative therapy, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, held from Dec. 1 to 5 in Chic...

Surgical intervention of knee articular cartilage injuries may prevent degeneration in symptomatic patients. This study aims to analyze trends, demographics, and yearly incidence of 4 different knee cartilage repair procedures in the United States from 2010-2020.

Presented results showed patients who underwent fresh osteochondral allograft transplantation for osteochondritis dissecans of the capitellum had excellent outcomes with a high rate of return to play at midterm follow-up.

Cartilage repair with a hyaluronic acid-based scaffold and bone marrow aspirate concentrate may yield positive long-term outcomes.

Highly anticipated cartilage repair implant from CytexOrtho receives greenlight to move forward with human clinical trials.

With a goal of treating worn, arthritic hips without extensive surgery to replace them, scientists have programmed stem cells to grow new cartilage on a 3-D template shaped like the ball of a hip joint.
