Background/Aim. Meniscal injuries are common in professional or recreational sports as well as in daily activities. If meniscal lesions lead to physical impairment they usually require surgical treatment. Arthroscopic treatment of meniscal injuries is one of the most often performed orthopedic operative procedures. Methods. The study analyzed the results of arthroscopic partial medial meniscect...

The aims of a meniscal replacement are: 1) to reduce the pain experienced by some patients following meniscus resection; 2) to prevent the degenerative changes of cartilage and the changes in subchondral bone following meniscus resection; 3) to avoid or reduce the risk of osteoarthritis following meniscus resection; 4) to restore optimally the mechanical properties of the knee joint after menis...

Although meniscus defects and degeneration are strongly correlated with the later development of osteoarthritis, the promise of regenerative medicine strategies is to prevent and/or delay the disease's progression. Meniscal reconstruction has been shown in animal models with tendon grafting and transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs); however, these procedures have not shown the same e...

PURPOSE Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease in the elderly population. Most of the previous OA-related researches focused on articular cartilage degeneration, osteophyte formation and synovitis etc. However, the role of the meniscus in these pathological changes has not been given enough attention. The goal of our study was to find the pathological changes of the meniscus in OA knee and det...

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...

OBJECTIVE This work aimed to assess tibial rotations, meniscal movements, and morphological changes during knee flexion and extension using kinematic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Thirty volunteers with healthy knees were examined using kinematic MRI. The knees were imaged in the transverse plane with flexion and extension angles from 0° to 40° and 40° to 0°, respectively. The tib...

Abstract Background Recent studies have pointed out that arthroscopy, the commonly-used surgical procedure for meniscal tears, may lead to an elevated risk of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The biomechanical factors KOA can be clarified by analysis after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM). This study aimed elucidate cartilage stress and meniscus displacement tibiofemoral joint under flexion ro...

We evaluated three methods for fixing a medial meniscal autograft to determine which method restored tibial contact mechanics closest to normal. The contact mechanics (maximum pressure, mean pressure, contact area, and location of the center of maximum pressure) of the medial tibial articular surface were determined using pressure-sensitive film while knee specimens were loaded in compression t...

Hadidi O, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-222914 Description A 24-year-old male presented with left knee pain and swelling after a fall six weeks earlier playing football. Clinical examination revealed an antalgic gait and a moderate left knee effusion with tenderness along the medial joint line. Anterior drawer and Lachman tests were positive, suggesting an anterior cruciate lig...
