Sesamoid Bones in Tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) Investigated With X-Ray Microtomography, and Implications for Sesamoid Evolution in Lepidosauria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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.

Treatment of large chondral lesions with an autologous minced cartilage technique and synovial flap leads to superior results compared to matrix associated autologous chondrocyte transplantation technique after 24 months: A controlled clinical trial

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
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]

open access: yes, 2018
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 ...

Learning-Based Cost Functions for 3D and 4D Multi-Surface Multi-Object Segmentation of Knee MRI: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative

open access: yes, 2018
A fully automated knee MRI segmentation method to study osteoarthritis (OA) was developed using a novel hierarchical set of random forests (RF) classifiers to learn the appearance of cartilage regions and their boundaries.

Silk Fibroin‐Based Hydrogels Supplemented with Decellularized Extracellular Matrix and Gelatin Facilitate 3D Bioprinting for Meniscus Tissue Engineering

open access: yesMacromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
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]

open access: yes, 2018
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.

Can Knee Arthroscopy Be Considered Entirely Safe for Patients Over 50 Years Old With no Risk of Osteonecrosis? Case Series and Literature Review on Post‐Artrhoscopy Osteonecrosis of the Knee (PAONK)

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1378-1388, May 2025.
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

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, 2017
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

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
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 ...
