Young patientsMild symptomsT2 values of patients were significantly different with values of healthy groups, especially in the superficial cartilage of the patellofemoral joint. It made T2 mapping helpful to early identify patients with knee cartilage degeneration....
Chondromalacia refers to a softening of the cartilage under the kneecap (patella). It is a common cause of deep knee pain and stiffness in younger women and can be associated with pain and stiffness after prolonged sitting and climbing stairs or hills. While treatment with anti-inflammatory medi...

Comparison of three radiographic methods for diagnosis of hip dysplasia in eight-month-old dogs. RESULTS: The EHR score, DI, and DLS score at 8 months of age were all significantly correlated with degree of cartilage degeneration at necropsy. ... G Lust,RJ Todhunter,HN Erb,... - 《J ...
Description: Osteoarthritis is caused by degeneration of cartilage in the knee. In its extreme form, the menisci (cartilage) will be completely eroded, and the femur will rub on the tibia, bone on bone. Symptoms and signs: Osteoarthritis (OA) causes a chronically painful knee that is often ...
The femoral component is most often a curved metal cap that emulates the shape of femoral condyles and has a groove in the center that allows for patellar movement. If the patella needs to be resurfaced, the rear (posteri...
In the present study, the electro-mechanical properties of human knee articular cartilage were measured in vitro. An arthroscopic measurement tool was used to measure streaming potential integral (SPI), after which creep indentation tests were performed. Additionally, degradation level of the tissue was...
The patella, or kneecap, can be a source of knee pain when it fails to function properly. Alignment or overuse problems of the patella can lead to wear and tear of the cartilage behind the patella. Chondromalacia patella is a common knee problem that affects the patella and the groove it...
The aim of the study was to examine how mechanical unloading affects articular cartilage degeneration in the patellofemoral (PF) and tibiofemoral (TF) joints of a monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced rat model of osteoarthritis (OA). Design The study involved 60 male rats. OA was induced by int...
