Techniques such as the EELS-TALC [4] to enhance ACI and its next generation advancement called Matrix Assisted Chondrocyte Implantation (MACI) [5] with enabling chondrocytes to be tissue engineered with long term native knee cartilage phenotype maintenance in vitro and in vivo, [6] [7] with the engineered tissue construct containing stem cell progenitors [8] along with those expressing ...
Septoplasty (Latin: saeptum, "septum" + Ancient Greek: πλάσσειν, romanized: plassein, "to shape"), or alternatively submucous septal resection and septal reconstruction, [1] is a corrective surgical procedure done to straighten a deviated nasal septum – the nasal septum being the partition between the two nasal cavities.

The patella is displaced to one side of the joint, allowing exposure of the distal end of the femur and the proximal end of the tibia. The ends of these bones are then accurately cut to shape using ...
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a surgical procedure used to relieve arthritis in one of the knee compartments in which the damaged parts of the knee are replaced.

[11] [12] While there are few long-term studies as of 2018, a history of knee problems [13] and body weight are factors for how well the procedure will work. [ 14 ] Microdrilling augmented with peripheral blood stem cells
The 25-year-old, who the Dolphins took with the No. 18 overall pick out of Miami in 2021, had 43 total tackles and 6.5 sacks last season before he ruptured his Achilles in November.
