Journal ArticleDOI
Fine structural changes in the articular cartilage of the rat's knee following short-term immobilisation in various positions: a scanning electron microscopical study.
TL;DR: In this paper, the femoral articular cartilage was examined under the scanning electron microscope, showing that the surface layer of the cartilage showed disruption and the superficial chondrocytes were necrotic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescents' health and health behaviour as predictors of injury death. A prospective cohort follow-up of 652,530 person-years
TL;DR: Health compromising behaviour adopted at adolescence has a clear impact on the risk of injury death in adulthood independent from socioeconomic background, and poor health as such is not a significant predictor of injurydeath.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstruction of chronic anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency in athletes using a bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft. A two-year follow up study.
TL;DR: The average delay between injury and reconstruction was 4.7 years; before this 26 knee operations had been carried out in 22 of the patients and 20 patients were satisfied subjectively and 22 were classified objectively as excellent or good as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term recreational gymnastics provides a clear benefit in age-related functional decline and bone loss. A prospective 6-year study
TL;DR: The recreational gymnasts’ overall physical condition was comparable to the level that their less active referents had shown approximately 5 years earlier, and antiresorptive medication and high calcium intake accounted most for the maintenance of bone rigidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Load-specific differences in the structure of femoral neck and tibia between world-class moguls skiers and slalom skiers.
TL;DR: This study suggests that the bone structure at skiers' heavily loaded lower extremities was very robust, and a specific finding was the thick anterior cortex of the femoral neck among the slalom skiers.
