Mechanobiology of the meniscus [PDF]

Journal of Biomechanics, 2015
The meniscus plays a critical biomechanical role in the knee, providing load support, joint stability, and congruity. Importantly, growing evidence indicates that the mechanobiologic response of meniscal cells plays a critical role in the physiologic, pathologic, and repair responses of the meniscus.

Meniscus tear surgery and meniscus replacement [PDF]

Muscles, Ligaments and Tendons Journal, 2016
the menisci are easily injured and difficult to repair. The aim of this study was to analyze the current state of meniscal surgery aimed at preserving morphology and conserving the biomechanics of the knee to prevent joint degeneration.a search of the electronic medical literature database Medline was conducted, from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.

Meniscus-derived matrix scafolds promote the integrative repair of meniscal defects [PDF]

, 2019
Meniscal tears have a poor healing capacity, and damage to the meniscus is associated with significant pain, disability, and progressive degenerative changes in the knee joint that lead to osteoarthritis.

Meniscus transplantation [PDF]

Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2015
Understanding the structure and function of the meniscus is critical to understanding its role in overall knee joint function. Injury to, or removal of, meniscal tissue may be associated with articular cartilage wear, knee instability, and, ultimately, the progression of osteoarthritis. While every effort is made for preserving and/or repairing damaged

The discoid meniscus [PDF]

Journal of Children's Orthopaedics, 2007
Discoid lateral meniscus is an intra-articular knee disorder typically presented in the young population and during adolescence. Different types of meniscal disorders and varied forms of presentation have been reported. The natural history depends on the type of anomaly and the presence of symptoms. Management of the disorder should be directed toward

A Technique of Improved Medial Meniscus Visualization by Anterior Cruciate Ligament Graft Placement in Chronic Anterior Cruciate Deficient Knees [PDF]

, 2016
It is customary to perform medial meniscus repair before anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft placement when undertaken as a combined procedure. However, in chronic ACL-deficient knees, intraoperative anterior tibiofemoral translation can cause 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.

Anatomy of lateral meniscus [PDF]

Annals of Joint, 2022
The anatomy of the lateral meniscus underlies the understanding of its unique biomechanics. Moreover, the knowledge of its microscopic structure, its vascularization and its ligament insertions can make us understand the rationale for its surgical treatment.

Plasmonic meniscus lenses [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractControlling and manipulating the propagation of surface plasmons has become a field of intense research given their potential in a wide range of applications, such as plasmonic circuits, optical trapping, sensors, and lensing. In this communication, we exploit classical optics techniques to design and evaluate the performance of plasmonic ...

Undulation instabilities in the meniscus of smectic membranes [PDF]

, 2010
Using optical microscopy, phase shifting interferometry and atomic force microscopy, we demonstrate the existence of undulated structures in the meniscus of ferroelectric smectic-C* films.
