“…The most common type of joint replacement procedures, namely knee and hip, have a mortality rate of 1%, with almost 5% of patients experiencing post-surgery complications [258]. Even less-invasive arthroscopic procedures present some side effects, like nerve damage, infections, and clot formation [259][260][261][262][263].…”

Osteoarthritis (OA) stands as a prevalent and progressively debilitating clinical condition globally, impacting joint structures and leading to their gradual deterioration through inflammatory mechanisms. While both non-modifiable and modifiable factors contribute to its onset, numerous aspects of OA pathophysiology remain elusive despite considerable research strides. Presently, diagnosis heavily relies on clinician expertise and meticulous differential diagnosis to exclude other joint-affecting conditions. Therapeutic approaches for OA predominantly focus on patient education for self-management alongside tailored exercise regimens, often complemented by various pharmacological interventions primarily targeting pain alleviation. However, pharmacological treatments typically exhibit short-term efficacy and local and/or systemic side effects, with prosthetic surgery being the ultimate resolution in severe cases. Thus, exploring the potential integration or substitution of conventional drug therapies with natural compounds and extracts emerges as a promising frontier in enhancing OA management. These alternatives offer improved safety profiles and possess the potential to target specific dysregulated pathways implicated in OA pathogenesis, thereby presenting a holistic approach to address the condition’s complexities.

Background:Arthroscopic knee surgery has been associated with a low risk of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT), with previous studies demonstrating a risk of 0.12% to 3.7%. This risk of DVT and ideal prophylaxis in cases of meniscus root repair are unknown. The authors sought to determine the effectiveness of aspirin as DVT prophylaxis after meniscus root repair. The hypothesis was that there is no significant difference in the risk of symptomatic DVT after meniscus root repair with aspirin prophylaxis as compared with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) or apixiban. Methods:Patients treated with repair of medial or lateral meniscus root tears over a 3 yr period were identified retrospectively. The risk of subsequent development of a symptomatic DVT was compared based on whether postoperative DVT prophylaxis was undertaken with aspirin or a stronger anticoagulant such as LMWH or apixiban. Results:Fifty-eight patients who underwent root repair (19 lateral and 39 medial) were identified. No symptomatic DVTs were identified in 42 patients (0%) who received LMWH or apixiban, but DVTs were identified in 3 of 16 patients (19%) who received aspirin (P = 0.018). No significant differences in patient gender or body mass index, laterality of repair, associated procedures, or smoking history were noted between the groups. The aspirin group included older patients (mean age 49 yr) than those in the LMWH/apixiban group (mean age 39 yr).
