The basis of this paper has been planned on the functions of the meniscus and its effects. i.e. the existence of meniscus will prevent arthritis; in other word torn-off (wholly meniscus and/or partly) will lead to suffering from arthritis. In view of the above, it is reasonable that ...
While the present disclosure has been particularly shown and described with reference to particular embodiments, it will be fully appreciated that variations of the above-disclosed and other features and functions, or alternatives thereof, may be desirably combined into many other different systems or ...
3.1 Notations and Functional Settings Let [Math Processing Error]C0[0,∞) denote the Banach space of continuous functions on [Math Processing Error][0,∞) vanishing at infinity, together with the supremum norm on [Math Processing Error][0,∞). The space [Math Processing Error]Ck[0,∞),k...
The following description of the approaches used for the validation of the different sizing methods is divided into three parts. Part 1 focuses on describing the basic material, imaging, and measurement methods. Part 2 is dedicated to explaining the three different sizing methods in detail. Finally...
The medial meniscus has multiple functions, such as shock absorption, joint stabilization, lubrication, and proprioception [25, 26]. When MMPRT is triggered, the hoop action of the medial meniscus collapses, the buttress effect of the lateral condyle of the femur breaks down, the medial condyle...
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an “informational” entity as it receives, imparts and integrates structural and functional signals [40]. The mechanism of this “dynamic reciprocity” between cells and ECM is still partially unknown, but many studies have investigated the matrix [38,39,41,42...
Partial resection was performed when the peripheral part of the inferior leaf was confirmed as stable and without degeneration. In performing partial resection, the peripheral part of the inferior leaf was left without complete excision even though the peripheral parts of the superior and inferior ...
The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage disk that is found in the knee. We have two menisci in either knee. We have the medial meniscus on the inner side of the knee and the lateral meniscus on the outer side of the knee.See this post to learn more about how a meniscus functions. ...
There are mainly four types of prisms according to their functions, dispersive prisms, deflecting or reflecting prisms, rotating prisms, and offset prisms. Deflection, offset, and rotation prisms are commonly used in imaging applications; diffuser prisms are designed for use with dispersive...
