Early Rehabilitation with Weight-bearing Standing-shaking-board Exercise in Combination with Electrical Muscle Stimulation after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction [PDF]

, 2012
The objective of early rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is to increase the muscle strength of the lower extremities. Closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercise induces co-contraction of the agonist and antagonist muscles. The

Centimeter‐Scale Self‐Assembling Tendon Organoids Drive Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Centimeter‐scale tendon organoids are engineered by mimicking the extracellular matrix and optimizing chemical cues to guide tendon stem/progenitor cells. These large, self‐assembling constructs overcome conventional size limitations and exhibit enhanced tenogenic differentiation, extracellular matrix production, and mechanical resilience. Their tissue‐

Single and Double Bundle Arthroscopic Reconstruction of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (Review of Literature)

Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2019
Researches performed in the past 20 years show the necessity of the restoration of anatomic position of anterior cruciate ligament as the main stabilizing structure of the joint in combination with the restoration of other injured elements and correction

Sonographic Patellar and Quadriceps Tendon Length Pre‐ and Post‐Autograft Harvest: Reliability and Concurrent Validity

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extensor mechanism autografts used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, namely bone‐patellar tendon‐bone (BPTB) and quadriceps tendon (QT), may result in harvest‐site tendon elongation. Extended field of view (EFOV) ultrasound imaging has the potential to evaluate changes in tendon length, but the reliability and validity of these ...

Therapeutic ultrasound as an aid in tibial fracture management in a dog [PDF]

, 2017
A six-year-old, male, neutered Bernese mountain dog was presented with acute left hind limb lameness. Based on the symptoms, orthopedic examination and radiographic evaluation, a cranial cruciate ligament rupture was diagnosed.

Estrogen and Progesterone Exhibit Distinct Yet Coordinated Roles in the Regulation of Tendon Extracellular Matrix Remodeling

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is required for the proper healing, strengthening, and maintenance of tendon tissue. There are well‐documented sex differences in tendon injury rates and healing outcomes, often attributed to either innate differences in tissue structure and resident cell signaling or the influence of sex hormones ...
