Purpose: Micro-fragmented adipose tissue is emerging as a promising option for the treatment of various diseases including knee osteoarthritis (OA), though clinical trials are often limited by short follow-up periods. Our aim was to evaluate the safety and clinical outcomes of an arthroscopic debridement followed by a single injection of micro-fragmented adipose tissue in patients affected by knee OA.
Methods: From 2016 to 2020, patients affected by knee OA were enroled.

Due to the inherent aseptic and enclosed characteristics of joint cavity, septic arthritis (SA) almost inevitably leads to intractable infections and rapidly progressing complex pathological environments. Presently, SA faces not only the deficient effectiveness of the gold-standard systemic antibiotic therapy but also the scarcity of effective localized targeted approaches and standardized animal models. Herein, an ingenious multifunctional nanosystem is designed, which involves the methylation of hyaluronic acid (HA), copolymerization with DEGDA, loading with vancomycin (VAN), and then coating with fused macrophage-platelet membrane (denoted as FM@HA@VAN).

This study compares the efficacy of hydrodilatation (HD) alone with intra-articular corticosteroid injection (ICI) in treating frozen shoulder (FS). A total of 48 patients with FS were randomly assigned to two groups: 24 patients received HD treatment, while the other 24 patients received ICI treatment. HD involved 20 mL 0.

Introduction: KOA, a chronic degenerative joint disease, is commonly treated with intra-articular HA and PRP, used alone or in combination. However, the efficacy and safety of combination therapy (PRP + HA) remain unclear.
Aim: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to assess the clinical effectiveness and safety profile of PRP + HA versus PRP monotherapy for KOA.

Aims: Magnesium ions (Mg) play an important role in promoting cartilage repair in cartilage lesions. However, no research has focused on the role of Mg combined with microfracture (MFX) in hyaline-like cartilage repair mediated by cartilage injury. This study aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of the combination of MFX and Mg in cartilage repair.
