Introduction –Animal models have been utilized extensively for meniscal disease research. The anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLt) model is a commonly used canine model of osteoarthritis and the resultant knee instability often leads to naturally occurring medial meniscal injury. However, the ability to monitor the development and progression of meniscal injury can be as challenging in...

Abstract Background Pediatric patients rarely exhibit Baker’s cysts. This study was conducted on 15 cases (9 males, 6 females) presented with Baker (popliteal) cyst in the last 2 years (from September 2017 to 2019). The mean age 8.5 years. aim of this present our experience management these based clinical and imaging criteria. Plain x-ray knee ultrasonography were routinely done for all cases. ...

Abstract Background The principal aim of this study was to investigate the presence factors affecting Baker’s cyst volume in young and middle-aged populations. Methods Open excision with valve capsule repair, as well knee arthroscopy, were used treat eighty-five patients. cases categorized terms age, effusion, chondral lesion degree, meniscal tear Lindgren scores. An ultrasonography (USG) devic...

OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence of inflammation in subjects with chronic painful knee osteoarthritis (OA), as determined by the presence of synovitis or joint effusion at ultrasonography (US); and to evaluate the correlation between synovitis, effusion, and clinical parameters. METHODS A cross sectional, multicentre, European study was conducted under the umbrella of EULAR-ESCISIT. SUBJ...

BACKGROUND Recently, the number of elderly individuals who participate in sports has increased, thus injuries from overuse are now becoming recognized in the elderly population. Therefore, it is important to determine which muscle groups and tendons are most affected with aging to plan appropriate exercise interventions for elderly individuals. In particular, muscles and tendons in knee extenso...

This article describes tibiofemoral contact area measurement results from tests on 1 commercial total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using 2 experimental methods-fuji film and diagnostic ultrasound. The study presents a novel diagnostic ultrasound technique developed specifically for measuring TKA contact areas. Because most experimental investigations have been concerned with interimplant comparison,...

We report a new technique for pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) of the entire nerve supply of the knee as an option in treating osteoarthritis (OA) of knee. We targeted both sensory and motor nerves supplying all the structures around the knee: joint, muscles, and skin to address the entire nociception and stiffness leading to peripheral and central sensitization in osteoarthritis. Ten patients with ...

Giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath is also termed as tenosynovial giant tumour. It relatively a rare comprising only about 1.6% all soft tissue tumours. foot and ankle much less reported compared to hand knee. However tumor should be considered differential diagnosis tumours ankle.We here present case extensor tendons heath in young female which presented with chief complaint painless swell...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and low-level laser therapy on neuromuscular parameters and health status in elderly subjects with knee osteoarthritis. DESIGN A randomized evaluator-blinded clinical trial. SUBJECTS Forty-five elderly women with knee osteoarthritis. METHODS Subjects were randomized into 1 of the following 3 intervention groups: el...

BACKGROUND Jumper's knee is a common and troublesome condition among senior volleyball players, but its prevalence among elite junior players compared to matched non-sports active controls is not known. OBJECTIVE To clinically, and by sonography, examine the patellar tendons in elite junior volleyball players (15-19 years) at the Swedish National Centre for volleyball and in matched controls....
