Osteochondritis dissecans

This study looks at how well a surgical technique called AMIC holds up ten years after repairing cartilage damage in the ankle. Researchers are checking whether the pain relief and function patients gained in the first few years remain stable or fade over time. About 40 people wh…

This study tests a new way to repair damaged knee cartilage using 3D printing, platelet-rich plasma, and a piece of the patient's own bone and tissue. It involves 60 adults with large cartilage injuries. The goal is to see if this approach improves knee function and helps cartila…

This registry follows patients who receive donor cartilage or meniscus transplants for joint defects in the knee, hip, ankle, or shoulder. Researchers are collecting long-term data on pain, function, and whether the grafts need revision or fail over time. The goal is to understan…

This study looks at how a knee condition called osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) affects the mental health of young athletes aged 11 to 19. Researchers will measure stress and depression levels in 120 patients as they go through standard treatment, either surgery or non-surgical c…

This study looks at 254 people with a knee condition where a piece of bone and cartilage starts to crack and loosen. Researchers are observing how well different standard treatments—like rest or surgery—work over two years. The goal is to learn which approach leads to better knee…

This study asks over 2,300 people with various joint conditions (like arthritis, fractures, and hip problems) to fill out surveys about their treatment preferences. Researchers want to learn how factors like pain, recovery time, cost, and surgery versus non-surgery affect patient…

This study looks at how people walk before and after a type of ankle surgery called arthroscopic microfracture with a biologic scaffold. The surgery is used to repair damaged cartilage in the ankle joint. Researchers will measure foot pressure and walking patterns in 60 patients …
