In a recent cross-sectional study published in Arthritis Care & Research, researchers explored associations between OA-related walking disability and cardiovascular risk. The study included 500 patients with self-reported osteoarthritis (OA) ranging from ages 40-80. Patients were assessed using the 6-minute walk test (6WMT) to evaluate walking ability and the Pulse Wave Velocity to measure arterial stiffness.

Dr. Steven Sampson and Dr. Danielle Aufiero were recently invited to lecture on Orthobiologics for military physicians at Walter Reed & Uniformed Services University in Maryland.  They joined other leaders in the field of regenerative medicine to provide a comprehensive educational experience, encompassing all aspects of orthobiologics. The consortium was an opportunity for physicians and professors at the university to learn about emerging

While osteoarthritis (OA) is often associated with aging joints, it is also associated with younger individuals who have suffered a joint injury or undergone surgery. This type of OA is commonly referred to as posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). This subtype of OA is of particular importance because it can have significantly larger costs to the health care system, because of

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an emerging treatment modality that utilizes a rich milleau of platelets and growth factors within a patient’s own blood to potentially promote healing of damaged tissue. In recent years, a growing volume of research, including meta-analyses (a statistical analysis that combines the results from multiple scientific studies), have been conducted

Physical therapy and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections have both been shown to be effective in reducing pain with shoulder tendinopathies (injuries to the rotator cuff). However, it has been theorized that combining the two treatments could lead to potential additive effects, although it is currently unproven. A study recently published by a group of researchers
