Partial 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 کاملIndentation properties of growing femoral head following ischemic necrosis.
Little is known about the mechanical properties of the growing femoral head as it develops deformity following ischemic injury. The purpose of this study was to determine the indentation stiffness of growing femoral head following ischemic injury and to correlate the changes in stiffness with radiographic and histopathologic changes in the femoral head as it develops deformity. Following the in...
متن کاملDynamic elastic modulus of porcine articular cartilage determined at two different levels of tissue organization by indentation-type atomic force microscopy.
Cartilage stiffness was measured ex vivo at the micrometer and nanometer scales to explore structure-mechanical property relationships at smaller scales than has been done previously. A method was developed to measure the dynamic elastic modulus, |E(*)|, in compression by indentation-type atomic force microscopy (IT AFM). Spherical indenter tips (radius = approximately 2.5 microm) and sharp pyr...

Objective- To determine the effect of the transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation on healing of hip joint cartilage defect in rabbit.Design- Experimental in vivo study.Animals- 12 adult New Zealand rabbits were used.Procedures- Under effective the right femoral head was subluxated and the maximum accessible cartilage was denuded up to subchondral bone using dental bit in each rabbit. Then ...
متن کاملSpontaneous Minced Cartilage Procedure for Unexpectedly Large Femoral Condyle Surface Defect
Articular cartilage defects at the knee joint are being identified and treated with increasing frequency. Chondrocytes may have strongest potential to generate high-quality repair tissue within the defective region, in particular when large diameter defects are present. Autologous chondrocyte implantation is not available in every country. We present a case where we spontaneously covered an acu...
