hyaline cartilage is a vascular and neural tissue with scanty chondrocytes and limited regenerative ability. after some serious injuries of the cartilage, healing process will take place through the formation of fibrocartilage structures. currently, tissue engineering and cell therapy are 2 interesting therapeutic fields dealing with regenerative medicine. in this regard, tissue regeneration ha...

The formation of fibrocartilage during articular cartilage regeneration remains a clinical problem affecting adequate restoration in joints. To stimulate chondrocytes to form cartilage, we investigated the use amyloid fibril-based scaffolds. proteins α-synuclein, β-lactoglobulin, and lysozyme were induced self-assemble into fibrils and, dialysis, formed micrometer scale networks that resemble e...

Condylar Fibrocartilages The condylar cartilage is classified into three distinct zones based on its macroscopic and microscopic heterogeneity. Each zone possesses unique nanoscale heterogeneity that determine biomechanical function at the level. physiological movement of temporomandibular joint induces alteration in zones. Heterogeneity directs energy dissipation through different mechanisms, ...

This article aims to evaluate the study by Aydin et al., who introduce new methods to assess and understand the Achilles enthesis using ultrasound [1]. This original paper focuses on peripheral extra-articular enthesitis, at the Achilles level. Inflammation at the entheses, the sites of attachment of the tendon, ligament, fascia or joint capsule to the bone, is a characteristic finding of ankyl...

The study of the wrist represents a major diagnostic challenge because of its complex anatomy and the small size of individual structures. Recent advances in imaging techniques have increased our diagnostic capabilities. However, 3T magnets, multichannel specific wrist coils, and new MRI sequences have not restricted the indications of arthrographic imaging techniques (CT arthrography and MR ar...

The purpose of this study was to report long-term objective and patient-reported outcome after arthroscopic debridement central degenerative triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesions. A total 17 patients with TFCC (Palmer type 2C) lesions ulnar positive variance who were treated by retrospectively reviewed. Mean follow-up 8.8 years. Assessment facilitating the Modified Mayo Wrist score (...
