Background: Medial meniscus posterior root (MMPR) injuries accelerate the progression of
osteoarthritis. While partial meniscectomy was once considered the gold standard for …

Meniscal tears may be managed through conservative physical therapy and nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory medications or operative intervention. Meniscal repair is superior to partial …

Novel conical beam CT-scanners offer high resolution imaging of knee structures with ia.
contrast media, even under weight bearing. With this new technology, we aimed to …

Background The biomechanical change during the medial meniscus damage in the process
of knee osteoarthritis has not been explored. The purpose of this study was to determine the …

Proteoglycans and collagen fibrils are distributed inhomogeneously throughout the depth of
articular cartilage, providing the tissue with its unique depth-dependent properties and …

Meniscal tears are common injuries, and while partial meniscectomy is a frequent treatment
option, general meniscus loss is a risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis. The goal …

Advances in computational mechanics, constitutive modeling, and techniques for subject-
specific modeling have opened the door to patient-specific simulation of the relationships …

Background High tibial osteotomy (HTO) re-aligns the weight-bearing axis (WBA) of the
lower limb. The surgery reduces medial load (reducing pain and slowing progression of …

Joint tissue mechanics (eg, stress and strain) are believed to have a major involvement in
the onset and progression of musculoskeletal disorders, eg, knee osteoarthritis (KOA) …

Current meniscus tissue repairing strategies involve partial or total meniscectomy, followed
by allograft transplantation or synthetic material implantation. However, allografts and …
