In the knee are found the most complicated joints of our body. It is composed of two joints between the leg’s bones.
When the hip joint doesn’t function, due to disease or fracture, it can be replaced by a prosthetic implant either as a hemi (half) replacement or total replacement.
“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.” -Issac Asimov, Foundation As a nerdy teenager reading science fiction books and engaged in science, Issac Asimov was kind of a hero to me in the same way that sports figures were to most kids. His quote above is important to understand how medicine needs to evolve …

intra-articular drug delivery has a number of advantages over systemic administration; however, for the past 20 years, intra-articular treatment options for the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA) have been limited to analgesics, glucocorticoids, hyaluronic acid (HA) and a small number of unproven alternative therapies. Although HA and glucocorticoids can provide clinically meaningful benefits to an appreciable number of patients, emerging evidence indicates that the apparent effectiveness of these treatments is largely a result of other factors, including the placebo effect.
Osteonecrosis is a disease where a section of the bone dies off. This usually happens in the hip, but it can also happen in the knee (1). Oftentimes the disease has no known cause. However, one of the causes of osteonecrosis that is well researched is steroid use (like anti-inflammatory steroids given for pain). Abbreviations for Spontaneous Osteonecrosis of the Knee include SPONK and SONK.
Malrotation of the femoral component after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most important problems leading to painful TKA requiring revision surgery. Methods A comprehensive systematic review of the literature was performed to present current evidence on how to optimally place the femoral component in TKA. Several landmarks and techniques for intraoperative determination of femoral component placement and examination of their reliability were analyzed. Results 2806 articles were identifed and 21 met the inclusion criteria. As there is no unquestioned gold standard, numerous approaches are possible which come along with specifc advantages and disadvantages. In addition, imaging modalities and measurements regarding postoperative femoral component rotation were also investigated.
There are lots of different types of treatments out there that are called “knee stem cells,” but few involve any actual stem cells. For example, a common one is called an “umbilical cord” stem cell therapy, but this is a scam. Why? Our lab and several others has done this research and shown that the umbilical cord products being used by these clinics contain no actual mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), despite claims to the contrary (1-3).

“Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common shoulder problems that usually require operative treatments. Therapeutic options used to repair ruptured tendons have consisted of suture, autografts, allografts (transplants), and synthetic prostheses.
Although surgical treatments have improved dramatically up to now, shoulder pathology is still challenging to orthopedic surgery primarily because these injuries often respond poorly to treatment and require prolonged rehabilitation.
