Surgical management of painful intra-articular functional disorders of the temporomandibular joint has become a topic of much discussion. Data concerning the results of surgery are lacking not only because of the recent renewed interest in this surgery but also because of the small number of cases reported. The present study was undertaken to review the experience at the Medical College of Virginia/Virginia Commonwealth University Temporomandibular Joint and Facial Pain Center with surgical management of intra-articular meniscus dysfunction (IMD) as a specific entity. A review of IMD, criteria for establishment of the diagnosis, initial management, rationale for the surgery, type of surgery, and postoperative results in twenty-three cases will be discussed.

Percutaneous Intra-meniscal platelet-rich plasma injection for meniscal tears: A mid-term.
Acta Orthop Belg
December 2024
Percutaneous intra-meniscal platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a promising tool for managing low-grade meniscal injuries in non-athletic patients. The study evaluates the clinical and radiological outcomes of PRP intra-meniscal injection in meniscal tears. Forty-eight patients were injected with 3 injections of PRP at an interval of one week with a standardised technique under sonographic guidance.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a globally prevalent degenerative joint disease. Recent studies highlight the role of ferroptosis in OA progression. Targeting ferroptosis regulation presents a promising therapeutic strategy for OA; however, current research primarily focuses on single targets associated with ferroptosis.

RNA interference (RNAi) and oxidative stress inhibition therapeutic strategies have been extensively utilized in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), the most prevalent degenerative joint disease. However, the synergistic effects of these approaches on attenuating OA progression remain largely unexplored. In this study, matrix metalloproteinase-13 siRNA (siMMP-13) was incorporated onto polyethylenimine (PEI)-polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified FeO nanoparticles, forming a nucleic acid nanocarrier termed si-Fe NPs.

Objective: Osteoarthritis is a chronic, debilitating disease that causes long-term pain and immobility. Germline deletion of Phlpp1 or administration of small molecules that inhibit Phlpp1 prevents post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in mice. However, the chondrocyte-intrinsic role of Phlpp1 in PTOA progression is unknown.

Background: Painful degeneration of the sternoclavicular joint refractory to nonoperative treatment has historically been managed with resection of the degenerative segment of the medial clavicle. Although this has produced good results with improvement in symptoms, recurrent pain necessitating revision surgery is not an infrequently encountered outcome. To reduce the occurrence of recurrent postoperative pain, a novel technique to reconstruct the intra-articular disc at the time of medial clavicle resection was developed.
