High body mass index is a risk factor for unfavorable clinical outcomes after medial meniscus posterior root repair in well-aligned knees [PDF]

, 2020
BackgroundSevere chondral lesions and varus knee alignment are associated with poor outcomes following transtibial pullout repair for medial meniscus posterior root tears and meniscus tear is strongly associated with body mass index.

Vertical Membrane‐Free Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for High‐Throughput In Vitro Studies and Drug Screening

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This novel microfluidic organ‐on‐a‐chip (OoC) platform enables cost‐effective, high‐throughput in vitro modeling. With vertical compartmentalization and gravity‐driven flow, it eliminates porous membranes and external pumps. Successfully generating intestine, cartilage, and tendon models, this study demonstrates drug responses, including 5‐fluorouracil

The predictive value of point-of-care ultrasonography versus magnetic resonance imaging in assessing medial meniscal tears in patients with acute knee injury [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine
Objective Musculoskeletal ultrasound is increasingly used as the modality of choice in diagnosing many medical situations. The present study aimed to compare the accuracy of point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to ...

Growth Factor‐Loaded Mesoporous Silica Particles, Incorporated in Electrospun PCL Fibres, Provide Topographical and Chemical Cues for Tendon Tissue Engineering

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Electrospinning enables the hierarchical assembly of nanofiber‐based scaffolds for tissue engineering. However, encapsulated proteins often undergo structural changes. This study used mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as protective carriers, mitigating protein denaturation and supporting controlled release.

Knee Arthroscopy: The “Crevice Sign,” a New Pathognomonic Sign for Unstable Posterior Medial Meniscal Tear in Anterior Cruciate Ligament–Deficient Knees

Arthroscopy Techniques, 2020
There has been increased emphasis on medial meniscus repair in the anterior cruciate ligament–reconstructed knee, as this improves stability. We describe an arthroscopic sign of an unstable medial meniscal tear that is diagnostic. The “crevice sign” is a

Technique for Arthroscopic Transtibial Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair

Video Journal of Sports Medicine, 2022
Background: Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRT) can lead to significant pain, functional limitations, and osteoarthritis (OA). Biomechanically, MMPRT has been shown to be equivalent to total meniscectomy in terms of peak contact pressure in the ...

Differential cartilaginous tissue formation by human synovial membrane, fat pad, meniscus cells and articular chondrocytes [PDF]

, 2007
Objective: To identify an appropriate cell source for the generation of meniscus substitutes, among those which would be available by arthroscopy of injured knee joints.

Structure, Mechanics, and Mechanobiology of Fibrocartilage Pericellular Matrix Mediated by Type V Collagen

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study defines the structure, mechanics, and mechanobiology of the fibrocartilage pericellular matrix (PCM) using the murine meniscus, showing how collagen V deficiency alters PCM properties and disrupts cell mechanosensitive signaling. Findings emphasize the critical role of PCM in fibrocartilage mechanobiology and suggest targeting it can enhance
