TL;DR: Despite similar success in returning to competitive sport, microfracture allows a faster recovery but present a clinical deterioration over time, whereas arthroscopic second-generation autologous chondrocyte implantation delays the return of high-level male soccer players to competition but can offer more durable clinical results.

TL;DR: T tendinopathic Achilles and patellar tendons show a similar histological picture, and a common, as yet unidentified, etiopathological mechanism may have acted on both these tendon populations.

TL;DR: This mini-review is focused on the combination of the local delivery of antibiotic agents with bone regenerative therapy for the treatment of a severe bone infection such as osteomyelitis.

TL;DR: This study used a hydrophobic crosslinked polyurethane in a typical tissue-engineering approach, that is, the seeding and in vitro culturing of cells using a porous scaffold, to investigate the effect of the electromagnetic stimulation on SAOS-2 human osteoblast proliferation and calcified matrix production.

TL;DR: Nonathletic subjects experience more prolonged recovery, more complications, and a greater risk of further surgery than athletic subjects with recalcitrant Achilles tendinopathy.
