Methods for the repair of articular cartilage lesions include the transplantation of osteochondral grafts, microfracturing, and autologous chondrocyte implantation, with or without the assistance ...

Osteochondral defects of the knee articular cartilage are injuries frequently seen in orthopedics and sports medicine. The author’s previous experience with patients with osteochondral defects ...

Just a few millimetres thick, articular cartilage plays a crucial role in our musculoskeletal system, since it is responsible for smooth (in the truest sense of the word) movement. However, the ...

Researchers have identified a new mechanism behind knee osteoarthritis, showing that increased stiffening in the extracellular matrix led to a decrease in the Klotho "longevity protein," which led ...
