A Medical Xpress story summarises the risks associated with injectable peptides such as GHK-Cu, BPC-157 and TB-500, which are not approved for use in humans. See https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-04-peptides-antiaging-trend-evidence-theyre.html?utm_source=nwletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter
Animal studies suggest that these peptides increase the production of several growth factors and cytokines that are key drivers of arthrofibrosis and cancer. BP-157 has been banned by all regulatory authorities. These peptides may also impact brain chemistry and there are reports of mood dysregulation, flu-like symptoms and joint pain.
In my opinion, it is not wise to try injectable peptides, especially if you have arthrofibrosis.

A lack of health care provider knowledge about arthrofibrosis can make us desperate to find a remedy but we've got to be careful.

The benefits of mindfulness meditation for physical and mental health are far reaching and well established. This Science X story discusses the role of acceptance in mindfulness https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-03-benefits-mindfulness-meditation.html?utm_source=nwletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter
Acceptance of pain and disability does not mean giving up on improving your situation, but instead means noticing and accepting unpleasant experiences without fear or judgement.

My husband has knee arthrofibrosis and would like to meet with orthropedic surgeon in the united states. Dr. David Singleton has contributed to the site, but I cannot locate his contact information. Do you have any providers or centers you would recommend in the United States?
Hi Heather,
Dr Singleton has retired from surgery, unfortunately. Dr Jason Dragoo in Colorado is an experienced arthrofibrosis surgeon who treats post-TKA knees. The IAA has an interview with him on YouTube. Dr Hackett also uses arthrofibrosis appropriate methods, but I understand he doesn't treat knees with a prosthesis.
I hope this helps,

New research shows that the resolution of pain is an active process dependent on particular immune cells called monocytes. One particular type of monocyte produces a signaling molecule called IL10, which binds to nerve cells to turn off pain. More IL-10 is produced in men than in women.
Sim et al (2026 Neuroimmunology) say "In humans, pain resolved faster in men than in women after traumatic injury and was associated with higher circulating monocytes
and IL-10 levels in men". And "The slower resolution of pain in women increases their risk
of transitioning to chronic pain".
See https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-02-chronic-pain-longer-women-immune.html?utm_source=nwletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter for the story.

Very interesting! That pain scale has always caused me to pause and think how can we all have the same scale?

A new paper has reported that people with diabetes who took semaglutide (brand names Ozempic and Wagovy) before a knee replacement had significantly better post-op recovery, and complications such as bleeding, inflammation and infection were reduced. Substantial reductions in post-op complications were observed when semaglutide was taken for three months before surgery. The research was published by Yale orthopedic surgeons in the Journal of Arthroplasty. See https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-01-semaglutide-knee-patients-diabetes.html?utm_source=nwletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter to read the media story.

This interview explores the diagnosis and treatment strategies for arthrofibrosis after total knee replacement (TKR). Key advice is provided for patients and clinicians managing this challenging condition. Join Manon Raap from the IAA as she sits down with Dr. Marco Valoroso, Head of Knee Surgery at EOC Hospitals in Lugano, Switzerland, member of EUKAF center, and a leading surgeon in knee arthrofibrosis.
This was a great interview! I love to hear that Dr. Rosenberger is following the beliefs of the IAA. It makes me feel hopeful to see medical professionals acknowledging this condition after years of gaslighting. :)
