Cartilage Repair Surgery: Outcome Evaluation by Using Noninvasive Cartilage Biomarkers Based on Quantitative MRI Techniques?
BACKGROUND New quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques are increasingly applied as outcome measures after cartilage repair. OBJECTIVE To review the current literature on the use of quantitative MRI biomarkers for evaluation of cartilage repair at the knee and ankle. METHODS Using PubMed literature research, studies on biochemical, quantitative MR imaging of cartilage repair...
متن کاملSodium MR Imaging of Articular Cartilage Pathologies
Many studies have proved that noninvasive sodium MR imaging can directly determine the cartilage GAG content, which plays a central role in cartilage homeostasis. New technical developments in the recent decade have helped to transfer this method from in vitro to pre-clinical in vivo studies. Sodium imaging has already been applied for the evaluation of cartilage and repair tissue in patients a...
متن کاملThree-dimensional magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue (3D MOCART) score assessed with an isotropic 3D-True-FISP sequence at 3.0 Tesla
Introduction: Articular cartilage injuries are a common pathology of the knee joint and many patients could benefit from cartilage repair. Therefore, widespread surgical cartilage repair techniques, including marrow-stimulation techniques, osteochondral grafting, and chondrocyte implantation/transplantation, require objective and reliable follow-up examination. With its excellent soft tissue co...
متن کاملPartial Resurfacing of the Distal Femoral Cartilage Defect with Stem Cell- Seeded Poly-Vinyl-Alcohol (PVA) Scaffold
Objective- To evaluate the biological compatibility of differentiated stem cells embedded in poly-vinyl-alcohol (PVA) scaffolds for repair of distal femoral cartilage defect. Design- Experimental in vivo study. Animals- Twelve adult male New Zealand white rabbits were used which were divided into two groups (I, II) six rabbits each. Procedures- Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from h...
متن کاملMorphological and biochemical (T2) MR evaluation and comparison of cartilage repair tissue of the patella and the medial femoral condyle
Introduction: In a recent survey on 25,124 knee arthroscopies, cartilage lesions were found most frequently within the patella (36%) and the medial femoral condyle (34%). However, there is a clear topographical difference in cartilage surface and cartilage thickness between these two anatomical sites. Furthermore, when looking at biochemical and biomechanical properties, this regional variation...
