Introduction: Kinematic alignment (KA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is by definition a pure femoral resurfacing procedure aiming to restore the individual prearthritic anatomy. However, when a 2 mm compensation is systematically used on the worn side, the variability in cartilage thick...
Prior investigations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers of cartilage loss in knee osteoarthritis (OA) suggest that trials of interventions which affect this biomarker with adequate statistical power would require large clinical studies of 1–2 years duration. We hypothesized that smaller, sho...

“Knee replacementor total knee arthroplasty is an option when the synovium in a patient with RA has eroded and damaged the cartilage so that there is bone rubbing bone,” Dr. Goodman explains. Knee replacement surgery involves moving the damaged cartilage and bone and replacing them with metal...
Chondromalacia patella is a painful joint disorder that involves the softening and deterioration of the cartilage lining the underside of the kneecap. A common nickname for the disorder is runner's knee because it mainly affects young athletes, such as runners....

Arecent studyperformed in 2013 set out to see if PRP might actually slow the progression or worsening of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis involves the loss of cartilage in your knee. Previous studies have shown that the average arthritic knee can lose up to 5% of its cartilage ( or cushioning) ...
Death of chondrocytes cause disturbance of synthesis and re-absorption in cartilage that result in the loss of cartilage matrix components and defect in the structural and functional properties of the cartilage [24]. Although the results of experimental OA model cannot be correct extrapolation to ...
Our patient series included control cartilage tissue from the femoral neck (n = 6), low-grade CS (n = 6), intermediate-grade CS (n = 3) and high-grade CS (n = 4). N numbers were all of the available samples that came through our clinic in a one-year period. All individuals ...
