TLDR
Nine New Zealand white rabbits underwent prosthetic replacement of the meniscus which was attached to the intercondylar area of the tibia through a predrilled hole and around the internal surface of the capsule by sutures, in one knee, and meniscectomy alone in the contralateral knee.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium phosphate ceramic systems in growth factor and drug delivery for bone tissue engineering: A review
Susmita Bose,Solaiman Tarafder +1 more
TL;DR: This review highlights some of the current drug and growth factor delivery approaches and critical issues using CaP particles, coatings, cements, and scaffolds towards orthopedic and dental applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering biocompatible implant surfaces
TL;DR: The authors in this paper reviewed the interdisciplinary field of biocompatible implant surfaces from the viewpoint of materials science, biochemistry and cell biology, and provided an overview on basic information about bulk and surface properties of implant surfaces.
Journal Article
Bone regeneration: molecular and cellular interactions with calcium phosphate ceramics.
TL;DR: Calcium phosphate bioceramics are widely used in orthopedic and dental applications and porous scaffolds made of them are serious candidates in the field of bone tissue engineering.

The menisci of the knee joint. Anatomical and functional characteristics, and a rationale for clinical treatment
Karola Messner,Jizong Gao +1 more
TL;DR: There is no proof that replacement of the meniscus with an allograft can reestablish some of the important meniscal functions, and thereby prevent or reduce the development of osteoarthrosis which is common after meniscectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regeneration of Meniscal Cartilage with Use of a Collagen Scaffold. Analysis of Preliminary Data
TL;DR: The collagen scaffold was found to be implantable and to be safe over the three-year period and the findings suggest that regeneration of meniscal cartilage through a collagen scaffolds is possible.

Biochemical and metabolic abnormalities in articular cartilage from osteo-arthritic human hips. II. Correlation of morphology with biochemical and metabolic data.
TL;DR: For thirty-two areas of cartilage from nine osteo-arthritic and four "normal" femoral heads a histologic-histochemical grade was assigned as an index of severity of the osteo -arthritic process.

Knee joint changes after meniscectomy
TL;DR: It seems likely that narrowing of the joint space will predispose to early degenerative changes, but a connection between these appearances and later osteoarthritis is not yet established and is too indefinite to justify clinical deductions.

The role of the menisci in force transmission across the knee.
Walker Ps,Erkman Mj +1 more
TL;DR: Two implications of these findings are that the area of load-bearing is greatly increased and that the stability of the knee joint is enhanced by the menisci.
Journal ArticleDOI
the contact area and pressure distribution pattern of the knee: A study of normal and osteoarthrotic knee joints
TL;DR: Seven knees were studied to determine the contact area and pressure distribution of the tibiofemoral joint, under various loads and at 0 degrees flexion, using the casting method and special sensor sheets to imply that the menisci have load bearing and load spreading functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical changes in the knee after meniscectomy.
TL;DR: This investigation showed that the menisci perform a load-transmitting and energy-absorbing function in the knee joint and the stress acting across the joint increased significantly after meniscectomy.
