Inflammation is bad. What if synovial tissue damage is even worse? In our new study, @HollyPhilpott14 and the #WOREO team discover a link between synovial tissue damage and worse OA pain. @WOBL_Western @westernuBJI @WesternU

New Pub in @JAMANetworkOpen! In a long-term RCT follow-up, arthroscopic surgery for patients with knee OA neither delayed or hastened knee replacement (KR). 4/5 patients did not get a KR within 10 years of non-op care, w/ or without arthroscopic surgery https://t.co/sE0WJ7smUC

After ACL repair, @HarviHart @kaymcrossley et al. found that greater infrapatellar fat pad volume and Hoffa-synovitis are associated with worsening early features of OA, including bone marrow lesions. #ORSSMC #tissuecrosstalk @orssociety @JOrthopRes Link: https://t.co/1EnmMvVqxT

Walk Smarter, Not Harder! Our research paper investigating the effects of cadence manipulation on walking biomechanics in patients with patellofemoral #osteoarthritis is now online! https://t.co/a3pkJYpbB4

Walking with increased cadence, while maintaining a fixed gait speed, reduces knee flexion angular impulse as well as other surrogate measures of knee loading in patients with patellofemoral OA.
