MR imaging of the knee: current concepts
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has revolutionized the evaluation of musculoskeletal soft tissue disorders. This is most evident in the evaluation of internal derangements of the knee. MRI is an accurate and cost-effective means of evaluating a wide spectrum of knee injuries, ranging from cruciate-collateral ligament injuries to cartilage deficiencies. For clinicians and radiologists, evaluati...
متن کاملComparison of Autogenic Costal Cartilage with Chitosan Scaffold in Canine Humeral Defect Healing
Objective- Current trends emphasize the acceleration of fracture healing on the ground that in doing so, the limitation of mobility and complications associated with recovery period are reduced. The present study aims to compare autogenic costal cartilage with Chitosan scaffold in canine humeral defect healing. Design- Experimental study Animal-15 adult male dogs Procedures-...
متن کاملCostal Versus Articular Chondrocytes in Alginate Three-Dimensional Cultures
Given the difficulties in accessing articular cartilage as a source of chondrocytes to be used in fabricating cartilage constructs, alternative sources are required. The present study examined chondrocytes from costal cartilage for their suitability in cartilage tissue engineering. Chondrocytes isolated from rat knee and rib hyaline cartilage were separately mixed with alginate and placed in a ...
متن کاملAccuracy of magnetic resonance imaging to detect cartilage loss in severe osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint: comparison with histological evaluation
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used for research in hand osteoarthritis, but imaging the thin cartilage layers in the hand joints remains challenging. We therefore assessed the accuracy of MRI in detecting cartilage loss in patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal (CMC1) joint. METHODS Twelve patients scheduled for trapeziectomy to tre...
متن کامل3.0-Tesla MRI and arthroscopy for assessment of knee articular cartilage lesions.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of 3.0-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to accurately assess knee articular cartilage lesions. Sixteen patients who had knee 3.0-T MRI and underwent knee arthroscopy for partial meniscectomy were included. Three fellowship-trained sports medicine orthopedic surgeons reviewed all images. Articular lesions on MRI were graded from I to IV...
