PurposeTo observe the morphology of transverse geniculate ligament knee (TGL) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to analyze cause pseudotear sign anterior horn meniscus caused TGL.MethodsPatients who underwent MRI examination joint in orthopaedics department our hospital from July 2016 August 2019 were identified. The occurrence rate, length, width, thickness, cross-sectional shape, patter...

The long-term rotatory stability of meniscus suture repair has not been firmly established clinically. Up to now there are only experimental studies done. This retrospective study aimed to compare the long-term rotatory stability of a knee with a meniscus suture repair with the stability of the uninjured knee in each of a cohort of patients. We evaluated both knees of 64 patients at an average ...

Introduction Cysts of the menisci, particularly of the lateral meniscus, are not uncommon, and most are easily diagnosed by the history and examination of the knee. The first clinical description was by Ebner in 1904. Amongst the case reports in the literature are those of Becton & Young (1965) who in a 20-year review found only twenty-eight cases. Bonnin in 1958 described twenty-nine cases to ...

Background: To describe a semi-quantitative score for multi-feature, whole-organ evaluation of the knee in osteoarthritis based on the results of arthroscopic evaluation. Methods: This was a study of 1,199 patients who were suffering from knee pain for over 3 months (range 3 to 48 months) and had undergone arthroscopy. The mean age of patients was 49.8 (range 17 to 85) years old. Cartilage lesi...

Capillary-driven flow (CD-flow) in microchannels plays an important role in many microfluidic devices. These devices, the most popular being those based in lateral flow, are becoming increasingly used in health care and diagnostic applications. CD-flow can passively pump biological fluids as blood, serum or plasma, in microchannels and it can enhance the wall mass transfer by exploiting the con...

Treatment of symptomatic meniscal tears continues to evolve as we improve our understanding of the biomechanical role of the meniscus and its long-term importance to the health of the knee joint. Suture repair of meniscal tears is challenging, yet the incidence of repairs among our colleagues continues to rise as we aim to preserve meniscal tissue. Many elements of performing a repair are tedio...

The meniscus plays important roles in knee function and mechanics and is characterized by a heterogeneous matrix composition. The changes in meniscus vascularization observed during growth suggest that the tissue-specific composition may be the result of a maturation process. This study has the aim to characterize the structural and biochemical variations that occur in the swine meniscus with a...

INTRODUCTION Meniscal cysts very often cause meniscal tears and especially when it is peripheral, some of the healthy parts of meniscus might be needlessly sacrificed. In particular conditions, extraarticular approaches might save some menisci. In the present study, we evaluated the conditions which required using the extraarticular approach in addition to the arthroscopic procedure, to maximal...

This article describes a case of an arthroscopic partial meniscectomy of a posteriorly flipped superior leaflet in a horizontal medial meniscus tear using the posterior transseptal portal. An arthroscopic partial meniscectomy for bucket handle or flap tears in medial or lateral compartments using ordinary portals is a relatively common procedure in irreparable cases. However, the posterior comp...
