Tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joint 3D-kinematics in patients with posterior cruciate ligament deficiency compared to healthy volunteers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) plays an important role in maintaining physiological kinematics and function of the knee joint. To date mainly in-vitro models or combined magnetic resonance and fluoroscopic systems have been used for ...

Engineering Anisotropic Mechanical Properties in Large‐Scale Fabricated Cartilage Constructs Using Microfiber Reinforcement

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents the development of large‐scale (15 cm2) cartilage constructs with anisotropic mechanical properties using melt electrowritten (MEW) microfiber reinforced cell‐laden gelatin methacryloyl (gelMA). These constructs mimic the mechanical behavior of native cartilage, providing a suitable environment for Articular Cartilage ...

An Unusual Cause of Knee Pain: Periosteal Glomus Tumor of the Distal Femur

open access: yes대한영상의학회지, 2018
Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms that characteristically occur in subungual regions, but may also be found in other regions of the body. The clinical diagnosis of this tumor may be difficult if the tumor is located in an extradigital site.

MORPHO-METRIC DESCRIPTION OF THE PELVIC BONE AND PROXIMAL FEMUR EPYPHISIS OF STORKFORMES

open access: yesUkrainian Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2020
The pelvic bone and the proximal epyphisis of the femur bone are the main supporting components of the hip joint, and this is the leading link of the free pelvic limb ,which gives it considerable mobility, determines its position in static and locomotion

Popliteus impingement after TKA may occur with well-sized prostheses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
To determine the mechanisms and extents of popliteus impingements before and after TKA and to investigate the influence of implant sizing. The hypotheses were that (1) popliteus impingements after TKA may occur at both the tibia and the femur, and (2 ...

Immunosuppressive Formulations for Immunological Defense against Traumatic Brain Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A novel subcutaneous formulation combining alpha‐ketoglutarate, glycolysis inhibitor PFK15, and a myelin peptide reduces inflammation in a mouse TBI model. This formulation promotes regulatory immune cells, enhances autophagy, and improves motor function, suggesting its potential as a prophylactic immunosuppressive therapy to mitigate TBI‐induced ...

Flexible intramedullary nailing in the treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the femur in preschool children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Femur fractures in preschool children are mostly treated in a conservative way, by means of spica cast immobilisation or skin traction. In school age children the use of flexible intramedullary nails (FIN) is widely used and promoted.

Health-related quality of life, adiposity, and sedentary behavior in patients with early schizophrenia: Preliminary study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Objective: To examine adiposity and sedentary behavior in relation to health-related quality of life (QoL) in patients with early schizophrenia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was used to assess adiposity by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans ...

An Organ‐on‐Chip Platform for Strain‐Controlled, Tissue‐Specific Compression of Cartilage and Mineralized Osteochondral Interface to Study Mechanical Overloading in Osteoarthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanically active OsteoChondral Unit (OCU)‐on‐Chip platform mimicking the OCU's functional anatomy and the strain gradient across the osteochondral interface is presented. Upon compartment‐specific hyperphysiological compression, the model replicates mechanisms observed in osteoarthritis (OA) progression, such as calcium crystal accumulation ...

Immunosuppressive Cytokine‐Tethered Hydrogel for Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An injectable hydrogel is developed by chemically tethering IL‐4, an immunosuppressive cytokine, to a hyaluronic acid‐based backbone. The hydrogel reduces joint friction and exerts immunomodulatory effects. In a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) mouse model, it reduced inflammation, preserved cartilage, and promoted anti‐inflammatory immune responses.
