Revolutionising Tendon Healing: The Emerging Role of Biologics in Orthopaedic Surgery
Introduction Tendon injuries, such as Achilles ruptures or chronic tendinopathies, are notoriously slow to heal due to poor vascularity and limited cellular turnover. Traditionally, treatment has relied on surgical repair...
Read MorePreserving Joint Health: The Emerging Science of Subchondroplasty
Introduction Chronic joint pain, especially in the foot and ankle, is often caused by microfractures and bone marrow lesions (BMLs) beneath the cartilage surface. Historically, these conditions were difficult to...
Read MoreRegenerating Cartilage—A New Frontier in Orthopaedic Treatment
Introduction Articular cartilage injuries can drastically reduce quality of life and often lead to early-onset osteoarthritis. However, regenerative medicine is unlocking innovative ways to repair cartilage and preserve joints—without immediate...
Read MoreEnhancing Surgical Recovery with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is rapidly gaining recognition as a powerful tool in regenerative and post-operative medicine. In orthopaedics, where recovery can be slow and fraught with complications, HBOT offers...
Read MoreExploring the Role of Protein Receptors on Chondrocytes in Cartilage Repair
Introduction Articular cartilage, the smooth tissue covering the ends of bones in joints, plays a crucial role in facilitating smooth and pain-free movement. Understanding the mechanisms that govern cartilage health...
Read MoreInnovations in Foot and Ankle Surgery: Structural Bone Grafting and Regenerative Strategies
Introduction In the realm of orthopaedics, addressing conditions such as degenerative joint disease, post-traumatic arthritis, deformities, and non-unions with significant bone loss necessitates advanced surgical interventions. Structural bone grafting has...
