Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo T1ρ and T2 mapping of articular cartilage in osteoarthritis of the knee using 3 T MRI
Xiaojuan Li,C. Benjamin Ma,Thomas M. Link,Darwin-Dean Castillo,Gabrielle Blumenkrantz,Jesus Lozano,Julio Carballido-Gamio,Michael D. Ries,Sharmila Majumdar +8 more
TL;DR: The ability to detect early cartilage degeneration prior to morphologic changes may allow us to critically monitor the course of OA and injury progression, and to evaluate the success of treatment to patients with early stages of Oa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanical Evaluation of Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repairs: Double-Row Compared with Single-Row Fixation
TL;DR: Anterior repairs of the supraspinatus tendon had significantly stronger biomechanical behavior than posterior repairs and had a significantly higher ultimate tensile load than the three types of single-row fixation stitches.
Journal ArticleDOI
The forces in the anterior cruciate ligament and knee kinematics during a simulated pivot shift test: A human cadaveric study using robotic technology
Akihiro Kanamori,Savio L. C. Woo,C. Benjamin Ma,Jennifer Zeminski,Theodore W. Rudy,Guoan Li,Glen A. Livesay +6 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that the ACL plays an important role in restraining coupled anterior tibial translation in response to the simulated pivot shift test as well as under an isolated internal tIBial torque, especially when the knee is near extension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of physical therapy in treating atraumatic full-thickness rotator cuff tears: a multicenter prospective cohort study
John E Kuhn,Warren R. Dunn,R Sanders,Qi An,Keith M. Baumgarten,Julie Y. Bishop,Robert H. Brophy,James L. Carey,Brian G Holloway,Grant L. Jones,C. Benjamin Ma,Robert G. Marx,Eric C. McCarty,Sourav Poddar,Matthew V. Smith,Edwin E. Spencer,Armando F. Vidal,Brian R. Wolf,Rick W. Wright +18 more
TL;DR: Nonoperative treatment using this physical therapy protocol is effective for treating atraumatic full-thickness rotator cuff tears in approximately 75% of patients followed up for 2 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
T1rho, T2 and focal knee cartilage abnormalities in physically active and sedentary healthy subjects versus early OA patients—a 3.0-Tesla MRI study
Robert Stahl,Robert Stahl,Anthony Luke,Xiaojuan Li,Julio Carballido-Gamio,C. Benjamin Ma,Sharmila Majumdar,Thomas M. Link +7 more
TL;DR: T1rho and T2 could be a parameter suited to identify active healthy subjects at higher risk for developing cartilage pathology, as well as in patients with early osteoarthritis (OA), which showed a high prevalence of focal cartilage abnormalities.
