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

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.

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.

Model of the meniscus of an ionic liquid ion source. [PDF]
, 2008 A simple model of the transfer of charge and ion evaporation in the meniscus of an ionic-liquid ion source working in the purely ionic regime is proposed on the basis of order-of-magnitude estimates which show that, in this regime, _i_ the flow in the ...

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 ...

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.

Dual-barrel conductance micropipet as a new approach to the study of ionic crystal dissolution kinetics [PDF]
, 2013 A new approach to the study of ionic crystal dissolution kinetics is described, based on the use of a dual-barrel theta conductance micropipet. The solution in the pipet is undersaturated with respect to the crystal of interest, and when the meniscus at ...

Spontaneous imbibition in a slit pore: a lattice-gas dynamic mean field study [PDF]
, 2010 We present a theoretical study of spontaneous imbibition in a slit pore using a lattice-gas model and a dynamic mean-field theory. Emphasis is put on the influence of the precursor films on the speed of the imbibition front due to liquid mass ...

A model for deformable roll coating with negative gaps and incompressible compliant layers [PDF]
, 2003 A soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication model is formulated for deformable roll coating involving two contra-rotating rolls, one rigid and the other covered with a compliant layer. Included is a finite-strip model (FSM) for the deformation of the layer and
