  • Medial Meniscus Root Tears: Management With Single-Tunnel Repair and Meniscus Centralization

    Meniscus root tears (MRTs) are radial tears located near the anterior or posterior meniscotibial attachment, which are often underdiagnosed and associated with accelerated knee osteoarthritis (OA). Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs), frequently observed in middle-aged women, lead to altered knee biomechanics and joint degeneration if untreated. While historically managed with meniscectomy, the modern approach emphasizes arthroscopic repair to restore joint stability and delay OA progression.

  • Are Topical Anti-Inflammatory Creams Worth the Rub?

    Chronic pain and inflammation can really take a toll on your physical and mental health. Oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®) can help reduce pain and inflammation. But they also carry certain risks for cardiovascular and kidney issues, stroke, bleeding and ulcers when you take them for extended periods of time. Fortunately, there are topical anti-inflammatory creams that offer the same amount of relief with significantly reduced risks.

  • Lysyl oxidase mediates regeneration of chondrocytes and extracellular matrix in the construction of tissue-engineered cartilage in vitro

    Specifically, massive collagen fibers in ECM are covalently cross-linked by lysyl oxidase (LOX) to form a rigid cross-linked structure, contributing to certain mechanical properties.

  • Biologic Therapies in the Management of Sports-Related Tendon and Ligament Injuries: A Narrative Review

    Sports-related tendon and ligament injuries are common among athletes and active individuals, often resulting in prolonged recovery and compromised performance. Traditional management strategies, including physiotherapy and surgical repair, may not yield optimal outcomes, prompting growing interest in biologic therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and other regenerative modalities.

  • Determining the Need for Surgery When You Feel Better Post-ACL Tear

    Without surgery, athletes with an ACL tear may have recurring problems with knee instability. Athletes with a torn ACL often feel like their knee is "giving way" or buckling, especially when playing sports that require cutting or pivoting maneuvers, such as soccer, basketball, or football. But does everyone who tears their ACL need surgery, and can your anterior cruciate ligament heal on its own once it has been torn?

  • Alternative to hip replacement keeps aging athletes in the game

    For hardcore athletes and weekend warriors, a total hip replacement often limits participation in high-impact or intense physical activities. However, a surgical procedure called Birmingham hip resurfacing—an appealing alternative to total hip replacement for people in their 30s, 40s or 50s—is much more likely to allow patients to remain highly active, even many years after the procedure, according to long-term data from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
