Stem Cell Cartilage Offers Hope to Osteoarthritis Sufferers
Cartilage grown from stem cells in a laboratory may one day repair damaged knees, according to research from UC Davis Department of Biomedical Engineering. Lead author, Kyriacos Athanasiou and his team used adult stem cells from bone marrow and skin as well as human embryonic stem cells to grow cartilage tissue in the lab. Now they are experimenting with various chemical and mechanical stimuli to improve its results.

Weight Loss Can Help Reduce Chance of Knee Osteoarthritis
There's another good reason to lose even a moderate amount of weight: it could reduce your chance of developing knee osteoarthritis, according to data from a large ongoing study at the University of North Carolina. People who are overweight and lose just 5 percent of their weight are less likely to develop osteoarthritis of the knee, compared to people who gain weight.

Expert Commentary: Paul Meli MD, FACS 2/1/2010
Injuries to the cartilage of the knee; the meniscus, are one of the most common injuries seen in the knee. A wide variety of activities can cause damage to the knee ranging from professional sporting activities such as football, soccer, or tennis to routine activities of daily living such as working around the house, bending and squatting when playing with children or routine gardening. With cartilage injuries of this nature, there is typically very minimal swelling and the pain is typically minimal. The patient has a feeling of the knee buckling, locking, or giving out that is intermittent.

Drug May Extend Life of Arthritic Knees and Hips
An osteoporosis drug that is the first ever known to prevent cartilage loss following injury to a joint may also regenerate some cartilage that has been lost to osteoarthritis, according to research presented at the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research in Denver. Though this initial study was done on mice, study authors claim that the model closely resembles human osteoarthritis that develops following knee injuries.

Knee Cartilage Damage Raises Osteoarthritis Risk
A recent study of middle-aged and elderly patients showed that damage to the cushioning cartilage in the knee can often lead to osteoarthritis. The cartilage is known as the meniscus. Actually, there are two menisci, one on the inside of the knee and one on the outside. These tough, resilient, wedge-shaped cushions protect the thigh bone (femur) and main shin bone (tibia) from damaging one another and properly distribute the load of the body onto the joint.

Expert Commentary: Thomas Murray, Jr., M.D. 9/23/2009
A tear of a cartilage cushion or meniscus is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries, and removal of the torn fragments, or menisectomy, is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures done in the United States every day. The two menisci (plural) are semi-circular structures in the knee that help the relatively round femur or thigh bone conform to the flatter tibia or leg bone below.

Orthopedic and Dental Implants Aided by New Coating
A newly developed electrochemical process for coating metal implants vastly improves their functionality, longevity, and integration into the body, according to research conducted at Tel Aviv University. The new process has the potential to greatly improve the lives of people who have undergone joint replacement surgeries, improving their ability to walk, run and ultimately avoid the body's rejection of the implant.

Metal-Particle Inflammation Causes Joint-Implant Failure
The very joint implants that bring pain relief and restore freedom of motion to patients’ extremities can be their own undoing, setting off a metal-induced immunological defense mechanism that causes the implants to loosen and fail, according to a recent study.
The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health and to be published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research, was conducted by researchers at Rush University Medical Center. It won an award for scientific merit from the Orthopaedic Research Society. ( Read more about Metal-Particle Inflammation Causes Joint-Implant Failure)

Cartilage Transplants Help Repair Shoulder Joints
Doctors are finally beginning to use cartilage transplants to fix damaged shoulder joints instead of relying on arthroscopic surgery or impermanent implants to do the job. But only a few hospitals nationwide have taken up the practice.
"For a long time, surgeons have been looking for an alternative to joint replacement that is more effective than simply cleaning out the joint arthroscopically," said Brian Cole, an orthopedic surgeon at Rush University Medical Center, in Illinois, who specializes in cartilage restoration of the joints. "In cartilage restoration, we regrow fresh tissue or use donated tissue. It's an exciting and promising new treatment for damaged joints, now including the shoulder."

Biological Materials Seen Ousting Joint Replacements
Joint replacements are a major dimension of the orthopedics specialty, but they may be replaced in about 15 years by biological products that stimulate tissue and bone growth, according to a leading prognosticator. "We will be a little in the 'Star Trek' era, potentially," said Paul Olson, director of Viscogliosi Bros. LLC, a New York investment bank that specializes in orthopedics investment. He spoke recently at an orthopedic design and technology conference. ( Read more about Biological Materials Seen Ousting Joint Replacements)
