Healthy autologous synovium mitigates traumatic and inflammatory-based chondrocyte damage via increased IL-1Ra and TIMP-1 secretion
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Intrinsic responses of normal synovium to damaged cartilage are not well-understood. Objectives: To investigate if the addition of healthy synovium to damaged cartilage would improve cell viability and reduce the progression of osteoarthritic phenotypic features within the…

The associations between meniscus tear location and the prevalence and severity of cartilage wear in different knee compartments using an arthroscopic grading system
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Meniscus tears are associated with progressive cartilage degeneration and worsening osteoarthritis. Although several previous studies have explored the relationship between meniscus tears and cartilage damage, few have examined the relationship between tear location and…

Why do osteoarthritic knees hurt? Leveraging the impact of load for symptom management
Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) arises from the interaction of biologic and mechanical factors, with pathologic load contributing to symptoms, progression, and treatment failure. Despite growing interest in biologics and structural repair, mechanical load remains a fundamental yet…

Assessing osteochondral allografts: moving beyond viability to define cartilage health
Introduction: Living articular cartilage transplantation, including osteochondral allografts (OCAs), is an established treatment for cartilage defects. Current quality control standards largely emphasize chondrocyte viability as the primary measure of graft quality. However, this narrow focus…

The association between chondral lesions and patient-reported outcomes after meniscectomy: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Introduction: Evidence and guidelines around the treatment of meniscal tears in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) are conflicting, and the impact of chondral damage on surgical outcomes is unclear. Objective: Our objective was to evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following meniscectomy…

Autologous minced cartilage implantation combined with arthroscopic platelet-rich fibrin membrane in large chondral defects of the knee: a prospective comparative study
Introduction: Autologous minced cartilage implantation combined with platelet-rich fibrin membrane (m-PRF) may enhance chondrocyte viability by facilitating cell signaling between chondrocytes. Objectives: The study evaluated the clinical outcomes of nanofracture with m-PRF–combined minced…

Cryopreserved osteochondral allografts: are they similar in biomechanical and histological characteristics at 90 days and 1 year compared with fresh?
Introduction: Large focal chondral and osteochondral lesions can be effectively treated with osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation; however, the shelf-life of fresh allograft leads to logistical challenges and subsequent tissue waste. Cryopreservation offers a solution to obstacles…

Two-stage management of uncommon spontaneous rupture of anterior cruciate ligament in knee gouty arthritis: three case reports
Introduction: Monosodium urate crystal deposition can cause knee gouty arthritis (KGA). However, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture associated with KGA is rarely reported. Case presentation: We describe 3 male patients (aged 40-50 years) with 3 months of knee pain and instability, without…

Is joint preservation surgery effective for end-stage first metatarsophalangeal joint osteoarthritis? A case report and novel surgical technique of Cheilectomy, Distal Oblique Osteotomy, Microfracture, and Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Hallux rigidus, or first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) osteoarthritis (OA), may cause significant disabling symptoms. In end-stage first MTPJ OA, the gold standard of surgical intervention is classically joint-sacrificing in the form of arthroplasty or arthrodesis, with a…

Biomechanical adaptations in hip and ankle following autologous bone grafting combined with spheroid-based matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation for osteochondral defects of the knee
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Altered knee gait mechanics have been reported in patients treated with matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation combined with autologous bone grafting (MABCI) for osteochondral defects of the knee. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether…

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy promotes cartilage repair and subchondral bone remodeling in a rat model of osteochondral lesion
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Osteochondral lesions (OCL) are a key pathological feature in osteoarthritis, necessitating effective treatments that target both cartilage and subchondral bone. Extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) therapy, a noninvasive modality, shows promise but its holistic effects on the…

Total knee arthroplasty after dome vs closed wedge high tibial osteotomy: a comparative study
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Converting previously operated knees with high tibial osteotomy (HTO) to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) poses significant technical challenges due to the altered anatomy and geometry of the proximal tibia. Objectives: This study compared prosthetic component positioning in…

Advances in processing and preparation techniques of subchondral bone for the successful integration of osteochondral allografts
Introduction: Osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) is a well-established treatment for focal cartilage defects, yet failure to achieve graft-host bone integration remains a significant contributor to suboptimal outcomes. Objectives: This narrative review aims to critically evaluate current…
