Costal cartilage fractures and disruptions in a rugby football player.
Costal cartilage fracture of the rib cage, or costochondral, is a rare sporting injury. For contact athletes, the instability of the rib cage may lead to potential serious complications, similar to rib fractures or thorax disruption. Most authors recommend initial conservative treatment with surgery reserved for only recalcitrant cases. We report a case of an amateur American male rugby footbal...
متن کاملMechanical Characterization of Costal Cartilage
Rib fractures are a common morbidity following automotive crashes. While the rib bones are wellcharacterized, and articular cartilage from joints such as the knee and shoulder has been extensively mechanically characterized, almost no mechanical examination has been performed of the rib-cage costal cartilage. Costal cartilage is a hyaline cartilage, like articular cartilage, but it differs from...
متن کاملMRI evaluation of costal cartilage injuries.
OBJECTIVE The usefulness of MRI in costal cartilage injuries has not been shown. We report the MRI findings in a series of patients with costal cartilage injuries. CONCLUSION MRI can be a useful technique in the diagnosis of costal cartilage injuries.
متن کاملDielectric characterization of costal cartilage chondrocytes.
BACKGROUND Chondrocytes respond to biomechanical and bioelectrochemical stimuli by secreting appropriate extracellular matrix proteins that enable the tissue to withstand the large forces it experiences. Although biomechanical aspects of cartilage are well described, little is known of the bioelectrochemical responses. The focus of this study is to identify bioelectrical characteristics of huma...
متن کاملThe proteinpolysaccharides of human costal cartilage.
Water-soluble proteinpolysaccharides, called PPL, can be extracted from bovine nucleus pulposus in yields of 45%, and from bovine nasal cartilage in yields of 37% of the dry tissue weight. From human costal cartilage only 7% can be extracted. The method used to separate PPL from each of the first two tissues into four distinct fractions separates the PPL of human costal cartilage into four frac...
