It is recognised that articular cartilage has a limited capacity to heal ... with subchondral boney oedema of the patella and lateral femoral condyle and disruption of the medial patellofemoral ...

Therefore, thinking about OA is moving from biochemistry of the particular cartilage to the mechano-biology of the ... interposed between the iliotibial band and the lateral femoral condyle, caused by ...

Combined MPFL and medial quadriceps tendon femoral ligament reconstruction yielded fewer failures vs. nonoperative treatment. Researchers cautioned about the increased complication rates ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of tissue, a soft and flexible ‘fatty cartilage’ that could revolutionize the treatment of traumatic injuries, birth defects, and cartilage-damaging ...

In other instances, patients may require surgical procedures such as cartilage repair, meniscus repair or realignment of the knee joint, known as an osteotomy. Total knee replacement, said Dr ...

This hyaline-like cartilage more closely recreates the wear characteristics and durability of normal hyaline cartilage than the fibrous or fibrocartilage repair tissue formed by pluripotential ...

The ball is the femoral head, which is the upper end of the femur, or thigh bone. Cartilage cushions the ends of the bones and allows them to move easily, and thin tissue called the synovial ...
