Cartilage Repair by Joint Distraction and Motion Using an External Fixator for Massive Cartilage Defect
The objective of the present study was to investigate our novel methods for the repair of massive cartilage defects by joint distraction and motion using an external fixator. In this study, we used a rabbit model of massive articular cartilage defect in order to evaluate the effectiveness of using joint distraction and motion with a ring-type external fixator. This external fixator has a hinged...

متن کاملCartilage Biochemistry Knee Joint Cartilage Repair HARVEST AND SELECTED CARTILAGE REPAIR PROCEDURES AFFECT MECHANICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF UNINVOLVED ARTICULAR CARTILAGE IN THE CANINE KNEE
Introduction: Many articular cartilage (AC) repair procedures have recently been introduced into the clinic. One involves the harvesting of AC for autologous cell implantation. Concerns over the effects that this and other repair techniques may have on the AC throughout the joint prompted this study. In particular, we hypothesized that changes may occur in the physical and biochemical propertie...
متن کاملCurrent strategies for knee cartilage repair.
Defects in knee articular cartilage (AC) can cause pain and disability and present the clinician with an extremely challenging clinical situation. This article describes the most up-to-date surgical techniques that aim to repair and/or regenerate symptomatic focal defects in AC, which include arthroscopic debridement, microfracture bone marrow stimulation and autologous osteochondral allografti...
متن کاملSynovial fluid hyaluronan mediates MSC attachment to cartilage, a potential novel mechanism contributing to cartilage repair in osteoarthritis using knee joint distraction.
OBJECTIVES Knee joint distraction (KJD) is a novel, but poorly understood, treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) associated with remarkable 'spontaneous' cartilage repair in which resident synovial fluid (SF) multipotential mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may play a role. We hypothesised that SF hyaluronic acid (HA) inhibited the initial interaction between MSCs and cartilage, a key first step to ...
