Henry Ford Study Shows Non-Opioids Provide Effective Pain Relief After Knee Surgery
A study by Henry Ford Health System published in the October issue of The American Journal of Sports Medicine provides a promising answer to the question “Can patients effectively manage their pain after ACL knee reconstruction surgery without opioids?”
New protein fragment could improve cartilage regeneration
Detamore is the principal investigator of a research project being conducted at OU and OU Health that is using a protein fragment identified by comparing two different molecules known to support stem cell conversion to true cartilage cells.
Sanford opens groundbreaking stem cell trial for osteoarthritis
The ENDURE trial is a first-of-its-kind study, Sanford said. Adults with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis in the wrist, knee, ankle, shoulder or hip are eligible to participate in the clinical trial. The study is regulated through the Food and Drug Administration, and the cells are tested for quality and safety before injection, Sanford said.
An Overview of Shoulder Blade Pain

How does rheumatoid arthritis affect the knees?
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition, meaning the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. RA in the knees may severely affect a person’s mobility.
Researchers capture mechanisms for predicting cartilage degradation and recovery after ACL injury
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis is a musculoskeletal disorder shadowing especially the life of young and active population. Inhibition of cartilage damage progression with early intervention is crucial. To predict how an intervention would affect the state of an injured knee joint, knowledge of biomechanical and inflammatory aspects of osteoarthritis progression is necessary.
Common causes and treatments for a separated shoulder
A shoulder separation is an injury to the acromioclavicular joint on the top of the shoulder. The shoulder joint is formed at the junction of three bones: the collarbone (clavicle), the shoulder blade (scapula), and the arm bone (humerus). A shoulder separation occurs where the clavicle and the scapula come together.
