Using nasal cartilage cells to repair joints is nothing to sniff at. It has worked in goats. Now, in the first human trial, researchers at the University of Basel in Switzerland have grown cells called chondrocytes, taken from the noses of 10 patients with damaged knee joints, into cartilage...
Besides keeping off his excess weight, the muscles that hold his knee in place will be healthier. Improved diet: A raw or homemade organic diet may improve overall cartilage condition and make all joints, including the knee, healthier. A raw diet can even be made with beef traches and ...
However, with this technique, the choice of the femoral tunnel position is relatively limited, and damage to the lateral knee muscles can easily occur, leading to dysfunction of the knee extensor muscles and reducing the range of motion of the knee joint in the early postoperative period [5]....

THE LONG-TERM PROGNOSIS FOR SEVERE DAMAGE TO WEIGHT-BEARING CARTILAGE IN THE KNEE. A 14-YEAR CLINICAL AND RADIOGRAPHIC FOLLOW-UP IN 28 YOUNG ATHLETES Background: Current methods used to restore the joint surface in patients with localized articular cartilage defects include transplantation of an aut...
The development of a symptomatic OD depends on various factors, including the damage and insufficient repair of the subchondral bone plate. The ankle joint has a high congruency. During loading, compressed cartilage forces its water into the microfractured subchondral bone, leading to a localized ...
Investigators from Hospital for Special Surgery have shown that a biodegradable scaffold or plug can be used to treat patients with damaged knee cartilage. The study is unique in that it used serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and newer quantitative
"Three-dimensional bioprinting is a disruptive technology and is expected to revolutionize tissue engineering and regenerative medicine," says Paul Gatenholm, Ph.D. "Our team's interest is in working with plastic surgeons to create cartilage to repair damage from injuries or cancer. We work with ...
Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD) is a disease in which localized osteocartilaginous separation at the level of the subchondral bone causes damage to the protective articular cartilage cover, subsequently producing pain and swelling. Unless the lesion repairs spontaneously or it is treated, the disease ...
cartilages are ignored. The meniscus is the key shock absorber in the knee. A torn meniscus produces intermittent pain and catching in the knee. The old approach was to tell patients to live with pain until they could not stand it any longer and would eventually have to have a knee ...
