Knee injuries and reconstruction techniques

The purposes of this multi-center study were: (a) to document the location and type of meniscal and chondral lesions that accompany anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, and (b) to test for possible relationships between these lesions and patient age, time from initial injury (TFI), and sports level (i.e., recreatio…

We compared the mechanics of gait in 13 patients with early medial arthrosis (OA) of the knee and 13 normal controls, by measuring gait events, kinematic and kinetic parameters. In the OA group, walking velocity, cadence and stride length were reduced and stride time and double support time accordingly increased on bo…

Cartilage-derived growth factor (CDGF), a cationic polypeptide of approximately 18,000 mol wt, was prepared from bovine articular cartilage; other sources were bovine and human scapular and costal cartilage. Previous studies have shown that CDGF stimulates the proliferation of cultured mouse fibroblasts as well as cho…

Abstract The complex ultrastructure of the meniscus determines its vital functions for the knee, the lower extremity, and the body. The most recent concise, reliable, and valid classification system for meniscal tears is the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS) Cl…

BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular deficits are common following knee injuries and may contribute to early-onset post-traumatic osteoarthritis, likely mediated through quadriceps dysfunction. OBJECTIVE: To identify how peri-articular neuromuscular function changes over time after knee injury and surgery. DESIGN: Systematic rev…

A new simple and portable arthrometer, the Rolimeter, was used to assess the anterior laxity of knees in 20 normal subjects and 18 subjects with chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency. The subjects were tested by one examiner using maximum manual force. In order to assess the reliability of the device the…
