Scientists working in part at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) have learned new information about how the knee joints of children are damaged as the result of a compression injury, which could happen during sports or play. Their work could help researchers understand how this type of joint injury can progress to secondary osteoarthritis, a condition that occurs due to cartilage loss and causes pain and stiffness.
