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

NATIONWIDE ETHNIC/RACIAL DIFFERENCES IN SURGICAL TREATMENT OF DISCOID MENISCUS IN CHILDREN: A PHIS DATABASE STUDY

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2021
Background: Discoid meniscus, a congenital meniscus variant, may have greater incidence in Asian populations. No United States population-based studies have examined the discoid meniscus ethnic/racial distribution.

Automatic Meniscus Segmentation Using Adversarial Learning-Based Segmentation Network with Object-Aware Map in Knee MR Images

Diagnostics, 2021
Meniscus segmentation from knee MR images is an essential step when analyzing the length, width, height, cross-sectional area, surface area for meniscus allograft transplantation using a 3D reconstruction model based on the patient’s normal meniscus.

The lateral meniscus

Annals of Joint, 2022
We are proud to introduce this special series for Annals of Joint dedicated exclusively to the lateral meniscus, from its anatomy and biomechanics to its most complex surgical procedures. But why focus on a such restricted topic and not explore the whole meniscal knowledge?

A Tale of Two Loads: Modulation of IL-1 Induced Inflammatory Responses of Meniscal Cells in Two Models of Dynamic Physiologic Loading

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Meniscus injuries are highly prevalent, and both meniscus injury and subsequent surgery are linked to the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA).

Double-Layered Lateral Meniscus in an 8-Year-Old Child: Report of a Rare Case

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2016
Reports of congenital abnormalities of the lateral meniscus include discoid meniscus, accessory meniscus, double-layered meniscus, and ring-shaped meniscus. Particularly, only a few cases of double-layered meniscus have been reported. We report a case of

Identification and validation of pivotal genes related to age-related meniscus degeneration based on gene expression profiling analysis and in vivo and in vitro models detection

BMC Medical Genomics, 2021
Background The componential and structural change in the meniscus with aging would increase the tissue vulnerability of the meniscus, which would induce meniscus tearing.

An anatomically shaped medial meniscus prosthesis is able to partially restore the contact mechanics of the meniscectomized knee joint

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2022
Purpose The aim of this study was to determine whether a flexible medial meniscus prosthesis is more capable of sharing loads with the direct tibiofemoral cartilage contact than the stiffer first‐generation prosthesis.
