Background: Meniscus injuries in the United States result an estimated 850,000 surgical procedures each year. Although meniscectomies are most commonly performed orthopaedic surgery, little advancement has been made meniscus replacement and regeneration, there is currently no total device approved by Food Drug Administration. Hypothesis: A novel fiber-reinforced scaffold can be used as a functional replacement. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: tyrosine-derived, polymer...
Meniscus injuries and resulting meniscectomies lead to joint deterioration, causing pain, discomfort, instability. Tissue-engineered devices replace the meniscus have not shown consistent success with regard function, mechanical integrity, or protection of cartilage.To evaluate a novel resorbable polymer fiber-reinforced reconstruction scaffold in an ovine model for 52 weeks assess its tensile compressive mechanics, cell phenotypes, matrix organization content, articular cartilage...
BackgroundThe current coronavirus crisis, COVID-19, has affected all orthopedic surgeons. Surgeons at early stages of their career are risk being differently than more established counterparts.MethodsWe conducted an online survey for members the Young Arthroplasty Group to determine what effects this had on practice.ResultsNearly 40% our surveyed group responded ranging from residents, fellows, and All groups been by with different impacts each subgroup.ConclusionCOVID-19 significant impact...
Despite the lower forces to chest incurred during a sports injury compared motor vehicle accident, it is prudent perform standard of care radiographs and electrocardiogram rule out any potentially severe complications.
Preservation of native knee anatomy may confer improved patient satisfaction, as suggested by satisfaction scores in unicondylar versus total replacement. Bicompartmental replacement (BKR) implants similarly promote tissue preservation. We retrospectively reviewed 42 consecutive patients who underwent BKR from 2006 to 2007. Outcome measures were evaluated. At an average follow-up 103 months (range 87-110), 34/42 (81%) survived. Among the retained implants, Knee Society Score (KSS) grade was...
Objectives: Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is one of the most commonly performed orthopaedic procedures. Although procedure provides good symptom relief, long term follow up suggests results in an early onset degenerative knee arthritis a significant percentage patients. Currently, treatment options for lost meniscal tissue are extremely limited and those available do not provide solution. Therefore, there exists need functional meniscus replacement order to prevent joint deterioration....
