Low dose beta-blocker prevents ovariectomy-induced bone loss in rats without affecting heart functions.

29 Nov 2008 Findings from animal studies have suggested that bone remodeling is under beta-adrenergic control. However, the level of adrenergic inhibition required to achieve the most favorable effects on the skeleton remains unknown. To address this question, ... Read more...


Posterior cruciate ligament removal contributes to abnormal knee motion during posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty.

30 Oct 2008 Abnormal anterior translation of the femur on the tibia has been observed in mid flexion (20-60 degrees ) following posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty. The underlying biomechanical causes of this abnormal motion remain unknown. The ... Read more...


Can suture repair of ACL transection restore normal anteroposterior laxity of the knee? An ex vivo study.

30 Oct 2008 Recent work has suggested the transected anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can heal and support reasonable loads if repaired with sutures and a bioactive scaffold; however, use of a traditional suture configuration results in knees with increased ... Read more...
