First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at knee tissue that was removed during total knee replacement surgery in 29 patients. The goal was to learn more about how knee diseases and injuries affect bone and tissue structure, and to test new ideas for future treatments like custom implants or 3D-printed materials. No new treatments were given to patients, and the research only used material that would have been thrown away.
