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...

Falls can be particularly worrisome for older adults and seniors anyway. Well, add a diagnosis of osteoarthritis, and that risk goes way up! Knee and hip osteoarthritis are of particular concern here. A study published in the journal Arthritis Care and Research found that the risk of a senior...
though, the altered mechanics of instability and increased shock absorption can lead to progressive wear. If treated early, the injured tissues—such as the meniscus, ACL, and articular cartilage—can be repaired, regenerated, and replaced, protecting...
When you carry extra pounds you also speed up the loss of cartilage in your knees. That's the stuff that creates a cushion between your bones. If you don't have enough, your bones start to rub against each other. And that leads to irritation, pain, and swelling. ...
CiPAS atlas-based segmentation software (Qmetrics, Rochester, NY) was used to create the bone curvature maps at the bone-cartilage interface[1]. Mean and standard deviation maps were computed and the location of the statistical differences in curvature between cases and controls were found using ...
Speaking to TyC Sports from Barcelona, Romero says that it was "a very old injury," dating back to an operation in 2004, when he played for the Racing Club at the age of 17. "A fragment of cartilage was loose in the knee and it had lodged itself in the back of the knee. It let...

Bone formation starts in the fetus 6 months before birth and is not generally complete until adolescence (between ages 13 and 18). How many bones does a 14 year old have? As your baby grows into childhood, much of that cartilage will be replaced by actual bone. But something else happens...
Arthritis of the knee is when you've lost the soft cushioning at the end of your joints and your bones are rubbing together. If the arthritis is too severe for The Stone Clinic's bioknee procedure but not bad enough for you to need the whole joint replaced, a partial knee replacement ...
