Meniscal repair in the revision ACL reconstruction setting is indeed a worthwhile endeavor, with an 84% success rate over 6 years
Hip Arthroscopy is an Effective Treatment for High-Level Female Athletes
This study aimed to assess the outcomes of hip arthroscopic surgery in high-level female athletes diagnosed with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) compared to those with lower levels of sports activity. Additionally, we investigated the effectiveness of Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) and the potential ceiling effect, as a lack of sensitivity in detecting clinically statistically significant changes in high-level female athletes due to high baseline scores.
Frozen shoulder research may hold the key to understanding fibrosis resolution
Frozen shoulder is a painful and disabling condition affecting the ligaments that form the shoulder joint capsule. Patients experience severe stiffening of their affected shoulder which can last for several years, interfering with activities of daily life.
Mapping blood vessel network of the meniscus with high precision
Knee operations on the meniscus cartilage are a frequent procedure on a particularly complex part of the human body. Empa researchers want to provide an improved basis for clinicians in order to reduce the risks of the operation. Using 3D models based on micro-computed tomography analyses in the laboratory, they are mapping the blood vessel network of the meniscus on a nanometer scale.
