Considering the importance of meniscal integrity for overall joint health, a complete understanding of the relevant anatomy, biology, and biomechanics of the menisci is necessary for the proper treatment of this critical structure. This chapter provides readers with insight into the (1) pertinent ...
After division of the cruciate ligaments and one meniscus in the knee joint of the rabbit, degenerative changes were observed in both the articular cartilage and bone. This was more apparent on the tibial plateau in which the meniscus had been removed, progressive changes occurring from 3 to 16...
Histological evaluation showed the lateral meniscus had more bone than the medial meniscus, but there was no relationship between diet or surgery groups and amount of bone in the meniscus. Conclusions: Results suggested excessive body weight may contribute to spontaneous onset of OA and emphasized ...
The animal model deals with the species other than the human, as it can imitate the disease progression, its’ diagnosis as well as a treatment similar to human. Discovery of a drug and/or component, equipment, their toxicological studies, dose, side eff

CCN4 (cellular communication network factor 4), a highly conserved, secreted cysteine-rich matricellular protein is emerging as a key player in the development and progression of numerous disease pathologies, including cancer, fibrosis, metabolic and inf
In rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory aspect is more important, and the cartilage tissue is destroyed by the invasion of tumor-like pannus tissue arising from the inflamed synovia. Furthermore, the fibrocartilage of the meniscus is clearly involved in the initiation of osteoarthritis, especially ...
