Diagnosis of Knee Osteochondral Lesions With Ultrasound Imaging.
Evaluation of articular cartilage and subchondral bone is essential in the diagnosis of joint diseases and injuries. Interobserver and intraobserver reproducibilities of arthroscopic grading are only poor to moderate. Thus, for quantitative and objective evaluation of cartilage and subchondral bone, ultrasound arthroscopy (UA) has been introduced to clarify this dilemma. Assessment of the clini...
متن کاملInterrelationships between Human Articular Cartilage Thickness, Chondrocalcification and the Subchondral Plate
INTRODUCTION: Human articular cartilage degeneration has been strongly associated with aging, the degree of osteoarthritis, as well as levels of biomechanical stress. Morphometric changes in the subchondral plate, chondrocyte density and levels of calcification have been implicated as causes of osteoarthritis, but these relationships remain controversial because of conflicting conclusions. For ...
متن کاملSubchondral bone histology and grading in osteoarthritis
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) has often regarded as a disease of articular cartilage only. New evidence has shifted the paradigm towards a system biology approach, where also the surrounding tissue, especially bone is studied more vigorously. However, the histological features of subchondral bone are only poorly characterized in current histological grading scales of OA. The aim of this study i...
متن کاملProtective effect of zoledronic acid on articular cartilage and subchondral bone of rabbits with experimental knee osteoarthritis
Subchondral bone reabsorption and remodeling are responsible for the initiation and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Zoledronic acid (ZOL), a third-generation bisphosphonate (BIS), is an inhibitor of bone reabsorption. However, the intervention effect of ZOL on OA has not been fully characterized and remains to be directly demonstrated in animal experiments. The present study examined the mi...
متن کاملThe Role of Subchondral Bone Remodeling in Osteoarthritis: Alendronate Reducescartilage Degeneration and Prevents Osteophyte Formation in the Rat Anterior Cruciateligament Transection Model
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degradation, subchondral bone sclerosis and osteophyte formation. Recent studies have demonstrated that an increase in subchondral bone turnover is accompanied by specific architectural changes in the trabecular bone in OA joints. Furthermore, epidemiological studies have demonstrated positive ...
