Journal ArticleDOI

Early detection of aging cartilage and osteoarthritis in mice and patient samples using atomic force microscopy

TL;DR: It is shown that indentation-type atomic force microscopy can monitor age-related morphological and biomechanical changes in the hips of normal and osteoarthritic mice and may potentially be developed into a minimally invasive arthroscopic tool to diagnose the early onset of osteoartritis in situ.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improperly placed anterior cruciate ligament grafts: correlation between radiological parameters and clinical results.

TL;DR: The IKDC score declined with increasing distance of the graft from the most isometric bundle of the ACL in the anteroposterior direction, which interferes with graft biology and biomechanical demands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discoid Lateral Meniscus in Children. Long-Term Follow-up After Total Meniscectomy*

TL;DR: The long-term results of total meniscectomy performed in seventeen knees to treat a discoid lateral meniscus were retrospectively reviewed, finding osteoarthrotic changes, such as flattening of the lateral femoral condyle, formation of a ridge along the lateral Femoral Condyle, and spurring and sclerosis of the tibial plateau in ten knees.
Journal ArticleDOI

The position and orientation of total knee replacement components: A COMPARISON OF CONVENTIONAL RADIOGRAPHS, TRANSVERSE 2D-CT SLICES AND 3D-CT RECONSTRUCTION

TL;DR: 3D-reconstructed images are sufficiently reliable to enable reporting of the position and orientation of the components in a poorly functioning TKR with concerns over component positioning, and are recommend 3D-CT as the investigation of choice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence of free nerve endings in the soft tissue of the knee joint. A histologic investigation.

TL;DR: There is a positive correlation between the number of mechanoreceptors per standardized area unit and the clinical presentation of certain knee disorders.
