LINKING THE MECHANICS OF HA TO KNEE CARTILAGE BIOLOGY (Orthopedics This Week)
A new, important study out of Dr. Lawrence Bonassar’s lab at Cornell University has tackled one of the central but more difficult questions surrounding viscosupplementation, namely the link between hyaluronic acid’s (HA) lubrication function and the complex biologic processes operating on the arthritic knee.
The study, which was presented at the annual meeting of the Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) between March 10-13, 2018, is titled “Articular Cartilage Lubrication by HYADD® 4 Reduces Tissue Strains, Chondroc...
