Retrograde femoral nail malpositioning can obviously destroy knee trochlear cartilage. A solution is osteochondral allograft transplantation surgery. Although case reports are rarely published in Arthroscopy, we make an exception and publish a report of 2 cases of this complication (and how to treat it...
The pain and reduced mobility associated with osteoarthritis can be severe enough to make just about anything difficult. Tasks that were once easy like cooking, cleaning, or picking up groceries might now exacerbate joint pain and swelling. This can be frustrating and quite disheartening for seniors...
Prior investigations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers of cartilage loss in knee osteoarthritis (OA) suggest that trials of interventions which affect this biomarker with adequate statistical power would require large clinical studies of 1–2 years duration. We hypothesized that smaller, sho...
“Knee replacementor total knee arthroplasty is an option when the synovium in a patient with RA has eroded and damaged the cartilage so that there is bone rubbing bone,” Dr. Goodman explains. Knee replacement surgery involves moving the damaged cartilage and bone and replacing them with metal ...
“We can regrow or rebuild parts that have been damaged, lost or diseased. That covers everything from regenerating toes to regenerating hair — from the bottom of your body to the top of your head — and everything in between,” he says. “We’re seeing a lot of evidence that the ...
Measurement of articular cartilage volumes in the normal knee by magnetic resonance imaging: can cartilage volumes be estimated from physical characteristics? J Orthop Sci 2005;10:246e52.Keita Nishimura,Tomohiro Tanabe,Michio Kimura,Arimi Harasawa,Kanae Karita,Takashi Matsushita.Measurement of articular ...
Compartment-directed physical examination of the knee can predict articular cartilage abnormalities disclosed by needle arthroscopy. Arthritis Rheum 1995; 38: 917–25.Ike RW, O'Rourke KS (1995) Compartment directed physical examination of the knee can predict articular cartilage abnormalities disclosed by...
Introduction: Kinematic alignment (KA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is by definition a pure femoral resurfacing procedure aiming to restore the individual prearthritic anatomy. However, when a 2 mm compensation is systematically used on the worn side, the variability in cartilage thick...
ARTICULAR cartilageFREQUENCIES of oscillating systemsPurposes: To evaluate the effects of low frequency whole-body vibration (WBV) on degeneration of articular cartilage and subchondral bone in mice with destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM)induced osteoarthritis(OA) and mice...
Depending on the extent of the damage to the knee, in some cases, simple keyhole surgery to tidy up any torn cartilage may also be recommended."For some patients, however, as they get older and symptoms worsen, then more extensive surgery, including joint replacement, is often the best ...
