This study looked at knee tissue that was removed during knee replacement surgery in 29 patients. Researchers used advanced imaging and mechanical tests to understand how bone, cartilage, and surgical implants interact. The goal was to gather information that could help design be…

This study followed 41 people who had a scaffold implanted to treat partial meniscus tears in the knee. Researchers collected data from medical records and phone interviews to see how patients' pain, knee function, and quality of life changed over time. The goal was to understand…

This study looked at whether Pilates or neuromuscular exercises could help young adults with dynamic knee valgus (knock knees) improve their balance and knee control. 36 people were split into three groups: Pilates, neuromuscular exercises, or no exercise. Both exercise groups di…
