Article Synopsis
- Hip osteoarthritis (HOA) is a common joint disease, and recent research is exploring bone-marrow derived stem cell (BM-MSC) therapy as a possible treatment option.
- A scoping review was conducted to examine the preparation, dosage, and effectiveness of BM-MSC therapy in treating HOA, using guidelines and a comprehensive literature search.
- The review found that while BM-MSC therapy seems beneficial in reducing pain and improving function in HOA patients, the studies utilized "low-dose" injections, making it difficult to establish a clear relationship between dose and clinical outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- *Researchers reviewed data from 100 patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for FAI, measuring their alpha angles before and after surgery, and assessing the reliability of these measurements.
- *Results showed a significant difference between the outer alpha angle (average 77.0°) and the inner alpha angle (average 46.4°), indicating that the imaging technique could effectively guide how much bone needs to be resected for optimal outcomes.
Background: Microfracture is one surgical treatment strategy for osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) but results in fibrocartilage repair tissue, which has inferior mechanical properties to native hyaline cartilage. Biological regulation of microfracture has been suggested to improve the quality of cartilage repair in patients.
Purpose: To determine if administration of losartan, fisetin, or losartan and fisetin combined can enhance microfracture-mediated cartilage repair of OLTs in a rabbit model.
Purpose: To investigate the return to sport (RTS) rate and the sex-based difference of collegiate athletes after arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).
Methods: Patients who were collegiate athletes at the time of surgery and underwent hip arthroscopy for treatment of FAI between January 2009 and June 2020 were included. Patients were excluded if they were in their final year of eligibility, graduated, retired, or had plans to retire from collegiate play before surgery.
Background/objectives: Long-standing groin pain is a severe issue for athletes, often associated with the cleft sign on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, yet its underlying causes are poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to histologically examine the pubic plate structure in cadavers with and without the cleft sign on MRI, shedding light on the pathology behind the cleft sign.
Methods: Three fresh human pelvic cadavers underwent 3.
