Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy versus Sham Surgery for a Degenerative Meniscal Tear
Raine Sihvonen,Mika Paavola,Antti Malmivaara,Ari Itälä,Antti Joukainen,Heikki Nurmi,Juha Kalske,Abstr Act +7 more
TL;DR: The outcomes after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy were no better than those after a sham surgical procedure, and patients without knee osteoarthritis but with symptoms of a degenerative medial meniscus tear required subsequent knee surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pore diameter of more than 100 microm is not requisite for bone ingrowth in rabbits.
TL;DR: There is no threshold value for new bone ingrowth in pore sizes ranging from 50 to 125 microm under non-load-bearing conditions, based on the use of a highly standardized experimental model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy versus placebo surgery for a degenerative meniscus tear: a 2-year follow-up of the randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess if arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) is superior to placebo surgery in the treatment of patients with degenerative tear of the medial meniscus.
Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy versus Sham Surgery for a Degenerative Meniscal Tear
Raine Sihvonen,Mika Paavola,Antti Malmivaara,Ari Itälä,Antti Joukainen,Heikki Nurmi,Juha Kalske,Teppo L. N. Järvinen +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial in 146 patients 35 to 65 years of age who had knee symptoms consistent with a degenerative medial meniscus tear and no knee osteoarthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of immersion in SBF on porous bioactive bodies made by sintering bioactive glass microspheres
TL;DR: In this article, the dissolution of silica and calcium into simulated body fluid (SBF) was determined at different time intervals using a direct current plasma atomic emission spectrometer (DCPAES).
