Hydrogels as a Replacement Material for Damaged Articular Hyaline Cartilage
Hyaline cartilage is a strong durable material that lubricates joint movement. Due to its avascular structure, cartilage has a poor self-healing ability, thus, a challenge in joint recovery. When severely damaged, cartilage may need to be replaced. However, currently we are unable to replicate the hyaline cartilage, and as such, alternative materials with considerably different properties are u...
متن کاملCyclic Loading of Hyaline Articular Cartilage as a Tool in Cartilage Research
Introduction Understanding how mechanical loading affects cartilage is vital for understanding how osteoarthritis develops and how tissue engineered cartilage-scaffold constructs behave under conditions simulating in vivo cyclic loading. We have developed an in vitro dynamic loading chamber. In this report, development of chondrocyte apoptosis in unloaded and loaded bovine cartilage under these...
متن کاملSave the Meniscus, A Good Strategy to Preserve the Knee
With increasing life expectancy, the demand for preservation of native articular cartilage is increasing to delay joint arthroplasties. In the knee, there are many different strategies to preserve the articular cartilage including but not limited to corrective osteotomies, chondral injury restoration, intraarticular injection of cells or growth factors(PRP). However, One of the most important s...
متن کاملThe Influence of Articular Cartilage Thickness Reduction on Meniscus Biomechanics
OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the biomechanical interaction between meniscus and cartilage in medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. METHODS The finite element method was used to simulate knee joint contact mechanics. Three knee models were created on the basis of knee geometry from the Open Knee project. We reduced the thickness of medial cartilages in the intact knee model by approximately 50% t...
متن کاملRetaining the articular cartilage in finger joint amputations.
sequestration of the cartilage after degeneration? -a Some have stated that tbfis same attachment will eventually occur if the cartilage is left in place, but only with a risk of possible chondritis and sequestration. °We have felt, from our clinical experience, that leaving as much articular cartilage behind as possible in transarticular amputations is actually the best method. The following e...
