Meniscectomy & osteoarthritis
… orthopaedics in Tayside, popularised open total meniscectomy worldwide during the 1950s believing that this was necessary for a functioning fibrocartilage replica to completely occupy the ensuing space.<br/>The cohort in this study underwent open total meniscectomy under his care prior to their …

Novel approaches to evaluate osteoarthritis in the rabbit lateral meniscectomy model
A rabbit lateral meniscectomy model was used to induce osteoarthritis. Separate studies were conducted to evaluate the progression of osteoarthritis and to identify possible biological markers. First, 21 male, New Zealand White rabbits were divided into 3 groups (n = 7 / group). A randomly selected …

The biomechanical changes during sport-specific tasks and different commercially available footwear in individuals following meniscectomy
… Competitive athletes generally agree to having a meniscectomy surgery with the objective of returning to the same level of activity as was considered normal before the injury, however the effect of returning to sport and performing sport-specific tasks has not been researched in depth following …

3D BIO-PRINTED SCAFFOLDS FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING AND REGENERATION: AN INVIVO EVALUATION WITH FURTHER OPTIMIZATION
… scaffold was tested in vivo in a minipig meniscectomy model. Six-month outcomes showed reduced articular cartilage damage compared to the meniscectomy group and the formation of neo-meniscal tissue, especially in subjects where the scaffold was seeded with bone marrow mesenchymal stem …

ALLOGRAFT DERIVED BIOSCAFFOLDS FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING OF THE MENISCUS: AN IN VIVO OVINE STUDY AND THE EFFECT OF HYPOXIC CULTURE ON SEEDED MENISCUS CONSTRUCTS
… repair or resection through partial or total meniscectomy. Significant loss or dysfunction of the meniscus as a result of injury or partial meniscectomy alters the mechanics of the knee and contributes to the development of degenerative joint disease, pain, and disability. Allograft meniscus …

Reflex inhibition of the human quadriceps in the presence of knee joint damage
… studied in patients undergoing arthrotomy and meniscectomy in order to find ways of preventing inhibition. The maximal voluntary activation (MVA) of quadriceps was recorded, using surface integrated electromyography, during straight leg isometric contractions before end after surgery. …

Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury, Patient Variables, Outcomes and Knee Osteoarthritis
… meniscal injury treated by means of partial meniscectomy was the most important risk factor. Another cohort of 29 ACL-injured patients were examined with delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) to estimate cartilage GAG content, as a proxy for cartilage integrity. Results …

Development of a mouse model for the study of osteoarthritis pain
… OA were explored before selecting partial medial meniscectomy of C57BI/6 mice for in-depth study. The development of degenerative joint disease was confirmed using histology which illustrated progressive cartilage damage in a time dependent manner. Pain was assessed by monitoring weight bearing, …

The human meniscus: transplantation, characterisation and tissue engineering
… patient population who suffered a total meniscectomy. Viable meniscus allograft transplantation significantly reduces pain and improves function. This beneficial effect remains present in around 70% of the patients at 10 years after surgery. In light of the higher number of partial …

In vivo Sub-regional dGEMRIC Analysis and Contrast Distribution in Clinical Studies of Human Knee Cartilage
… study on 30 patients with a history of medial meniscectomy. They were divided into three groups according to self-reported changes in level of physical activity. MRI measurements were performed in femoral knee cartilage pre- & post-injection of Gd-DTPA2-. Depth-wise times p.i. depending on the …

Compressive Mechanics Of A Poly (Vinyl Alcohol)-Based Hydrogel System For The Replacement Of The Knee Meniscus
… ablation of the meniscus from the knee joint. Meniscectomy can be partial or total. This procedure is performed when meniscus lesions and tears or the degeneration of the meniscus caused by its natural dehydration occur. There is a peak of meniscal lesions observed between 20 and 29 years old. …
