Revolutionizing bone defect healing: the power of mesenchymal stem cells as seeds
Bone defects can arise from trauma or pathological factors, resulting in compromised bone integrity and the loss or absence of bone tissue. As we are all aware, repairing bone defects is a core problem in bone tissue engineering.
Optimizing Knee Positioning During Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
In this Technical Note, we propose an approach to improve the existing knee positions using a metal round stool as a foot support. The method aims to reduce reliance on human assistants during knee arthroscopy procedures and restore the natural positioning of leg muscles, potentially improving procedural outcomes.
Subacromial Balloon Spacer for Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear is Cost-Effective in Older, Low-Demand Patients With Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear and Severe Comorbidities
The InSpace subacromial balloon spacer (Stryker, USA) is indicated for the treatment of massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. The device is placed in the subacromial space with the aim of restoring shoulder function by limiting painful acromiohumeral contact and recentering the superiorly migrated humeral head.
Revolutionizing cartilage repair: The role of macrophages and hyaluronic acid in healing injuries
Injuries of the knee resulting in damage to cartilage affect approximately 900,000 Americans annually, resulting in more than 200,000 surgical procedures. These injuries are frequently associated with pain, diminished joint functionality, and reduced quality of life.
ACL reconstruction with hamstring graft may reduce flexion strength vs. patellar graft
Published results showed patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with a hamstring tendon graft had decreased knee flexion strength compared with patients who received a patellar tendon graft at long-term follow-up.
Urgent Care is available after hours and weekends through Ortho Care on Demand.
