Methods: RASFs were isolated from synovial tissues obtained during knee/hip replacement surgery performed at the Clinic of Orthopedics, University Hospital Jena, Germany. Cells from different donors (n = 4) were stimulated with mechanical strain (15% elongation, 1 Hz) and lncRNA qPCR Array (...
The gastrocnemius originates proximal to the medial and lateral condyles of the posterior femur. Inman et al [2] showed that with the knee Summary When the foot works properly it is an amazing, adaptive, powerful aid during walking, running, jumping, and in locomotion up or down hill and ...
Due to the high global rate of total hip and knee replacement, endoprostheses represent an increasingly common source of infection, although infections of other implants such as orthopaedic internal fixation devices are also commonly seen. Stainless steel, titanium, and titanium alloys are the most ...
cystatin C [85]. It is as yet unclear whether these changes in cardiac biomarkers arise from cardiomyocyte necrosis, ischemia or altered cardiomyocyte metabolism [68,85]. However, considering the dynamics of hs-cTnT elevation, the biomarker increase is most likely caused by transient strain or al...
Finally, numerous studies have highlighted the utility, particularly in cases of knee OA, of strengthening the muscles that support the affected joint through targeted rehabilitation or training programs. Weakness in muscles such as the femoral quadriceps can lead to increased knee joint loading. Howeve...
If sensation is intact, the area of swelling is painful. With the development of early HO at the hip or knee, effusion may be noted at the knee. Workup in heterotopic ossification Laboratory studies are non-specific and include the following: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) - This is ...
ex: knee or elbow Saddle joints flexation, extension, and medial and lateral movement ex: carpometacarpal joint of thumb Plane joints glide, allowing multi directions ex: intercarpel and intertarsel joints Condyloid joints glide, but bones are irregular ...
