TL;DR: Electrospun PLLA nanofibers facilitate colonization of bone defects, while their use in combination with BMP-2 also increases bone regeneration in vivo and thus combines osteoconductivity of the scaffold with the ability to maintain an adequate osteogenic stimulus.

TL;DR: Intraarticular steroid infiltration or radiofrequency denervation appear to be a managing option for chronic function-limiting low back pain of facet origin with favorable short- and midterm results in terms of pain relief and function improvement, but improvements were similar in both groups.

TL;DR: HTO provides good clinical results in long-term follow-up and preoperative osteoarthritis Kellgren-Lawrence grade >2 is a significant predictive risk factor for HTO failure, which may be improved by careful patient selection.

TL;DR: The new Actifit® polyurethane scaffold has been shown to be a safe, effective implant, for the treatment of patients with pain as a result of segmental medial meniscus loss at 1 year.

TL;DR: This study reveals that the new method incorporating a new cell-free collagen type I gel for the treatment of small chondral and osteochondral defects in the knee evaluated at 2-year follow-up produces both good clinical and magnetic resonance imaging results.
