Download or read book Engineering the Knee Meniscus written by Kyriacos A. Athanasiou and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The knee meniscus was once thought to be a vestigial tissue, but is now known to be instrumental in imparting stability, shock absorption, load transmission, and stress distribution within the knee joint. Unfortunately, most damage to the meniscus cannot be effectively healed by the body. Meniscus tissue engineering offers a possible solution to this problem by striving to create replacement tissue that may be implanted into a defect site. With a strong focus on structure-function relationships, this book details the essential anatomical, biochemical, and mechanical aspects of this versatile tissue and reviews current meniscus tissue engineering strategies and repair techniques. We have written this text such that undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers will find it useful as a first foray into tissue engineering, a cohesive study of the meniscus, or a reference for meniscus engineering specifications.

Download or read book The Menisci written by Robert F. LaPrade and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive journey through the pathogenesis and treatment of meniscal pathology. It details the elements that are necessary to properly understand, diagnose, and treat meniscal tears, ranging from vertical tears to radial tears and root avulsions. Treatment techniques are thoroughly described and illustrated, with presentation of the latest evidence on outcomes. The algorithmic treatment of meniscal tears has undergone a rapid transformation. We have progressed from the initial treatments involving removal of the meniscus using an open technique, to the performance of partial meniscectomies and complex meniscal repairs by means of an arthroscopic technique. The current treatment goal is to maintain the biology and mechanical integrity of this vital knee structure, an aim too often disregarded by past generations of surgeons. An explosion of new knowledge, coupled with advances in arthroscopic and surgical technology, has paved the way for wider application of approaches that help to preserve the meniscus, in the hope of preventing or delaying the development of knee arthritis. This book will have utility for all clinicians who treat meniscal lesions and will serve as a valuable resource for years to come.

Meniscal lesions are extremely common, and arthroscopic meniscal surgery is one of the most common orthopaedic surgical procedures performed. The art of meniscal surgery involves many steps, with ever-evolving techniques and implants. This book has been prepared during a period of widespread debate on, and evolution in, the conservative, surgical, and biological techniques for managing meniscal lesions. This text will help consolidate the current evidence to enable the development of optimal management plans for meniscal injuries.
Download or read book The Structure Function Relationship in Knee Menisci written by Jeanie Kwok Meckes and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disorder with risk factors that include aging and joint injury. OA is characterized as the degeneration of articular cartilage, but invariably affects other joint tissues, including subchondral bone, menisci, synovium, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Of these tissues, the meniscus, in particular, plays a critical role in the knee joint, providing load bearing and transmission, shock absorption, smooth articulation, and joint stability. These biomechanical functions are dependent upon the hierarchical structure and composition of the meniscus at the tissue level, as well as homeostatic mechanisms maintained at the cell and molecular level. The importance of the meniscus is emphasized by the fact that meniscal degeneration and injuries as well as partial/total meniscectomy contribute to the development and/or progression of OA. However, the precise relationship between meniscus degeneration and aging, injury, and OA is poorly understood. Previous studies have examined the macroscopic and microscopic meniscus structure, composition, and biomechanical properties independently, but do not provide a global understanding of meniscus degeneration. This dissertation investigates the structure-function relationship of the meniscus in humans and mice during aging, injury, and OA using multidisciplinary biological and engineering tools and techniques across multiple scales, from tissue to molecular level. Age-dependent changes in the nanobiomechanical properties of the extracellular matrix of human meniscus were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), which revealed distinct nanobiomechanical profiles of healthy, aged, degenerated, and OA tissue. A semi-quantitative histopathological grading system was developed to assess degenerative changes in the structure and composition of menisci from mice models of normal aging, injury, and OA. This histopathological grading system was applied to understand changes in and the function of autophagy in mice menisci during aging and injury. Lastly, qualitative and quantitative ultrashort echotime (UTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to assess morphological and functional properties in menisci as well as determine the potential for identifying early biomarkers of meniscus degeneration and progression. This multiscale study of the structure--function relationship in the meniscus provides insight into diagnostics and treatment of meniscus injuries and degeneration for the prevention or slowing of the progression of OA.
Download or read book The Management of Meniscal Pathology written by Eric J. Strauss and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-19 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the management of meniscal pathology is addressed in many large sports medicine textbooks, this dedicated book on the topic is a major addition to the information currently available for orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine specialists, residents and fellows. As symptomatic meniscal tears remain among the most common musculoskeletal problems that are seen and treated, this up-to-date book on the evaluation and management of meniscal pathology, focused on current techniques and available evidence in the literature, is therefore extremely useful. To that end, The Management of Meniscal Pathology: From Meniscectomy to Repair and Transplantation is a comprehensive resource reviewing all aspects of managing symptomatic meniscal pathology. It is structured to proceed logically through an understanding of the anatomy and biomechanical importance of the meniscus in normal knee kinematics to the evaluation and treatment of meniscal tears and meniscal insufficiency. The chapters dedicated to the surgical management of meniscal pathology - including partial meniscectomy, meniscus repair, meniscal root repair and meniscal allograft transplantation - include step-by-step descriptions of various operative techniques, including pearls and pitfalls for the reader in addition to classic case examples. Non-operative approaches, as well as novel and emerging strategies and materials, are also highlighted, providing a well-rounded presentation of available techniques and outcomes.
Download or read book Meniscal Injuries written by John D. Kelly, IV and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-20 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly discussing the varied elements of meniscal damage and repair, Meniscal Injuries: Management and Surgical Techniques includes the insights and expertise of over 20 leading surgeons and researchers on topics ranging from meniscal anatomy, physical examination, innovative resection and repair techniques, gene therapy, and tissue regeneration. This treatise offers wisdom aimed at assessing true surgical candidates, exploring the intricacies of meniscal composition and function, an overview of meniscal scaffolds and replacements, and patient examination pearls. Also discussed in depth is cutting edge research concerning meniscal repair enhancement, nanofiber technology as a means of meniscal replacement, and biologic agents directed toward chondral protection. All the science presented will direct the sports medicine practitioner to state-of-the-art treatment aimed at knee preservation. Meniscal repair and regeneration is a rapidly evolving science - early attempts at meniscal restoration or repair resulted in short-term gains which often sacrificed long-term joint integrity. Now, the practitioner is afforded numerous means of retaining or restoring meniscal tissue. Breakthroughs in scaffold and allograft replacement, as featured herein, offer the promise of articular cartilage preservation like never before. In addition, tissue regeneration and gene therapy techniques, featured throughout, offer a glimpse into emerging technologies aimed at preserving or replacing meniscal tissue in previously considered “hopeless” cases. As such, Meniscal Injuries will be an indispensible resource to orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine practitioners interested in providing the absolute most contemporary and evidence-based care to their patients.
