Effects of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Tendon Integrity, Biomechanical Strength, Matrix Remodeling, Inflammation, Angiogenesis, and Tenogenic Differentiation in Rotator Cuff Injury

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) improves tendon‐bone healing after rotator cuff injury (RCI), but its underlying cellular mechanisms remain unknown. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effects of ESWT on RCI, with a particular focus on endothelial cells and tenocytes.

Disulfidptosis‐ and Ferroptosis‐Related Gene Signatures in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Association Analysis and Diagnostic Model Construction

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovial inflammation and progressive joint damage. Although ferroptosis has been implicated in RA progression, the role of disulfidptosis and its interaction with ferroptosis remains unclear.

Autologous minimally manipulated adipose‐derived stromal vascular fraction in knee osteoarthritis: Lasting symptom relief and imaging evidence from a 12‐month prospective study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intra‐articular autologous transplantation of adipose‐derived connective tissue micrografts rich in stromal vascular fraction (CTM‐SVF), obtained using an enzyme‐free system (Hy‐Tissue® SVF) for knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods Thirty patients (mean age of 53.3 ± 6.4 years) with Kellgren–Lawrence

Gait alterations increase friction of degenerated articular cartilage: A tribological study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the effect of gait alterations associated with osteoarthritis (OA) on the frictional properties of porcine articular cartilage (AC) in intact and degenerative conditions. Methods Forty‐eight cylindrical AC samples were harvested from 12 porcine femur condyles and equally divided between four groups with n = 12 samples ...

Synovial interleukin‐6 point‐of‐care testing, alone and combined with D‐dimer, supports rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Data on the reliability of point‐of‐care (POC) tests for the rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) using synovial fluid (SF) D‐dimer (DD), interleukin 6 (IL‐6) and procalcitonin (PCT) are limited. This study aimed to address this issue by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of POC tests for SF DD, IL‐6 and PCT in ...

Contact mechanics modelling of articular cartilage and applications [PDF]

, 2006
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of articular cartilage. The normal cartilage is known to be an excellent bearing material with remarkable lubricating properties and very low frictional co-efficient and wear and generally survives the ...

Managing the meniscus part I—Anatomy, biomechanics, and treatment strategies for the atraumatic meniscus tear

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this article is to serve as the first of a two‐part review on the meniscus; in this review, we will establish the background on anatomy and pathogenesis of the meniscus, as well as the effect of the meniscus on native knee kinematics and function.
