The Arthritis portal earlier wrote about if there is a link between osteoarthritis and other diseases, for example, cancer. In a new study, researchers investigated if there is a link between hip osteoarthritis and stroke. A stroke is a bleeding or blood clot in the brain. A stroke can cause more or less permanent damage, depending on how damaged the brain gets. There are several risk factors for

A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, challenged the common assumption that an ACL injury cannot heal. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), is the main stabilising ligament in the knee. Rupture of the ACL is most common in young, active individuals, and can have devastating impacts. The most common treatment is ACL reconstruction, which is based on the assumption tha

In a new study, 60,000 Swedish twins were studied. Researchers investigated which role genetic factors play in the development of hand osteoarthritis. The genetic factor seems to be a strong contributor to being diagnosed with hand osteoarthritis when visiting specialist care. In this study, the researchers compared the incidence of hand osteoarthritis diagnosed in specialist care, many times by a
