Having already demonstrated that a small amount of cartilage taken from the nose can be used to repair injured knees, researchers will soon commence a clinical trial to investigate whether the technique can be used to regenerate joints that have been s… Continue reading Using your nose to regenerate knees eroded by osteoarthritis
Reconstructing knees with kangaroo tissue is one step, or hop, closer to being a reality, with human trials set to get under way in 2024.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Macquarie University, Knee injury, Tendon, kangaroo, Animal science… Continue reading Kangaroo tendons could rebuild human knees better, stronger
A new study has found a novel, non-surgical method that is very effective at healing a common sporting injury, rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament or ACL. The method could be a way to help sufferers avoid surgery altogether.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Novel treatment protocol for ACL rupture may help avoid surgery
New data presented at the Radiological Society of North America’s annual meeting suggests long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), such as naproxen or ibuprofen, can be associated with hastened progression of osteoarthritis symp… Continue reading Popular anti-inflammatories linked to worse osteoarthritis progression
Treatments for osteoarthritis-related knee pain range from store-bought medication all the way up to total knee joint replacement. The recently trialled Misha Knee System is intended to help fill the gap between those extremes, by acting as an implante… Continue reading “Shock absorber for the knee” implant shows promise in clinical trial
