Active duty military personnel commonly present with cartilage injuries of the patella and trochlea owing to acute trauma or chronic repetitive injury. The initial treatment for patellofemoral chondral injury is nonoperative modalities to include: rest, activity modifi...
متن کاملHistopathological Effects of Loading on Cartilage Repair in a Rat Full-thickness Articular Cartilage Defect Model
[Purpose] We investigated effects of loading on cartilage repair in rat full-thickness articular cartilage defects and histopathologically analyzed the healing process of the defect. [Subjects] A total of 40 male 9-week-old Wistar rats were used. [Methods] Full-thickness articular cartilage defects were created over the capsule at the loading portion in the medial condyle of the femur. Twenty r...
متن کاملViable Osteochondral Allograft for the Treatment of a Full-Thickness Cartilage Defect of the Patella
Isolated cartilage defects can lead to significant pain and disability, prompting the development of a number of options for restorative treatment. Each method has advantages and limitations, and no single technique has gained widespread use. We present a technique for implantation of a cryopreserved osteochondral allograft (Cartiform) for the treatment of full-thickness cartilage defects. Cart...
