Biomechanical consequences of a tear of the posterior root of the medial meniscus. Surgical technique.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Tears of the posterior root of the medial meniscus are becoming increasingly recognized. They can cause rapidly progressive arthritis, yet their biomechanical effects are not understood. The goal of this study was to determine the ... Read more...

Meniscus structure in human, sheep, and rabbit for animal models of meniscus repair.

30 Aug 2009 Meniscus injury is a frequently encountered clinical orthopedic issue and is epidemiologically correlated to osteoarthritis. The development of new treatments for meniscus injury is intimately related to the appropriateness of animal models for ... Read more...

MRI accuracy for tears of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus in patients with acute anterior cruciate ligament injury and the clinical relevance of missed tears.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: The sensitivity of MRI for the detection of tears of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus (PHLM) is lowest compared with that for tears at other meniscal locations, and the presence of simultaneous acute anterior cruciate ligament ... Read more...
