Sesamoid Bones in Tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) Investigated With X-Ray Microtomography, and Implications for Sesamoid Evolution in Lepidosauria [PDF]
Sesamoids bones are small intra‐tendinous (or ligamentous) ossifications found near joints and are often variable between individuals. Related bones, lunulae, are found within the menisci of certain joints.

Abstract Purpose Treating large cartilage lesions in the knee remains a challenge. While matrix‐associated autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI) is the gold standard for medium to large lesions, the minced cartilage technique has shown promise in smaller defects. Enhancing this technique with biomaterials has been suggested for larger lesions, but

Experimental loss of menisci, cartilage and subchondral bone gradually increases anteroposterior knee laxity [PDF]
Purpose: Anteroposterior knee stability is a relevant factor for the decision-making process of various surgical procedures. In degenerative joints when the implantation of unicompartimental prostheses or corrective osteotomies of the limb are planned ...

To engineer meniscus tissue, a combination of silk fibroin, decellularized meniscus extracellular matrix, and gelatin is 3D bioprinted with infrapatellar fat pad‐derived mesenchymal stem cells. Cell addition is found to affect the enzymatic crosslinking and the mechanical properties of the hydrogels, whose Young's modulus matches with human meniscus ...

Collateral damage: Current perspectives of equine ligament injuries
Summary Collateral ligament injuries can be debilitating to equine athletes. Despite the awareness of collateral desmopathy seen in clinical practice, there remains limited detailed information on contrasting features of these injuries based on their location in the limb.

Direct magnetic resonance arthrography of the knee: utility of axial traction [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of axial traction during acquisition of direct magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography examination of the knee in terms of joint space width and amount of contrast material between the cartilage surfaces.

Post‐arthroscopy osteonecrosis is a rare complication occurring in 0.82% of cases, primarily affecting patients over 50 with degenerative meniscal tears. Early detection through MRI and conservative treatment, including bisphosphonates and weight‐bearing avoidance, proved effective in most cases, while some required surgical intervention.

Simplified Arthroscopic Lateral Meniscal Root Repair Involving the Use of 2 Cinch-Loop Sutures
The meniscal root attachments are critical for meniscal function by securing the menisci in place and allowing optimal shock absorption in the knee. Successful meniscal root repair has been shown to restore the knee's tibiofemoral contact pressure to the

Is There a Role of Photoacoustic Imaging in Sports Medicine: Evidence Today
Applications of photoacoustic technology in various tissues in sports medicine. ABSTRACT Diagnostic imaging in sports medicine includes traditional imaging modalities such as x‐ray, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Despite having certain advantages, these imaging techniques often have lower sensitivity and specificity ...
