Download or read book Early Osteoarthritis written by Christian Lattermann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-09 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early osteoarthritis is novel topic for orthopedic surgeons and its process begins immediately after joint injury. The mechanical restoration of the joint surface or ligamentous stability is not sufficient to restore the homeostatic environment in the joint, and this leads to osteoarthritis, despite mechanical stability and alignment. This book sheds light on the various mechanisms and systems involved in the gradual decline of the injured joint toward manifest osteoarthritis. Published in collaboration with ISAKOS, this volume appeals to all stakeholders in surgical orthopaedics and sports medicine.

Download or read book Osteochondral Allograft Preservation in a Serum free Chemically defined Media written by Joseph Thomas Garrity and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Articular cartilage has a very limited capacity as compared to other biological tissues to repair and regenerate because of its avascular nature. Chronic degradation of articular cartilage may result in osteoarthritis, the most common debilitating disease worldwide. In order to alleviate severe pain symptoms and dysfunction associated with osteoarthritis, treatment strategies to replace rather than repair the tissue have been developed. Osteochondral allografts (OCAs) allow the transplantation of whole cartilage tissue into a defect with viable cells, or chondrocytes that will maintain the cartilage matrix. Fresh OCAs have demonstrated greater than 75% clinical success in the treatment of articular cartilage lesions. Currently allografts are stored at 4°C and used within 28 days, however, FDA-mandated disease testing requires 14 days of screening which decreases the effective window for implantation to 14 days. The purpose of this study was to evaluate OCAs stored up to 56 days in a Control (DMEM supplemented with ITS, Sodium Pyruvate, L-ascorbic acid, and MEM Non-essential amino acids) and Test (DMEM) supplemented ITS+, Sodium Pyruvate, L-ascorbic acid, MEM Non-Essential amino acids, dexamethasone, boron, and TGF-[beta]3) media preparation at 4°C and 37°C. Media was changed and collected every 7 days. At Days 0, 28, and 56, full thickness cartilage was evaluated for cell viability, GAG and HP content, and histologic evaluation. Media was collected at Days 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, and 56 for GAG content of the media, a measure of GAG release from tissue. Media collected on Days 7, 28, and 56 was also evaluated for NO, PGE2, MMP, and cytokine content. Cell viability as well as tissue GAG and HP content were maintained at Day 0 levels up to Day 56 in the 37°C Control media. GAG release of tissues at 37°C indicated active metabolism in the tissue. The profile of cytokines released during storage by OCAs stored in the 37°C Control media may be a preliminary step towards a screening protocol for testing OCA viability during storage. Our work showed that storage in a serum-free chemically-defined media at 37°C can maintain OCAs \ better than the current tissue banking protocol for storage.

Download or read book Articular Cartilage Contact Mechanics and Development of a Bendable Osteochondral Allograft written by Brian Kelsie Jones and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ideal allograft would have a relatively thick articular layer to provide sufficient compliance for promoting joint congruence with the mating metacarpal surface, and surface curvatures that match the saddle-shaped anatomy of the distal trapezial articular surface to reproduce the normal joint motions. A potential solution that would provide suitable trapezium osteochondral allografts for patients involves precisely machining and bending allografts from a lower extremity joint with thicker cartilage, such as the distal femoral surface of the knee, to match the shape and curvature of the trapezium. Such bent osteochondral allografts would provide all the desired benefits of the ideal arthroplasty. Chapter 5 outlines the development of this novel technology, including proof of concept and feasibility demonstrations, business strategy and market analysis.

Download or read book Cartilage Defect Repair by Osteochondral Allografts written by Andrea L. Pallante and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Articular cartilage exhibits limited intrinsic healing, and when defects are left untreated, they can increase in size and cartilage degeneration may progress to end-stage joint failure. Osteochondral allografting has been widely used in the clinic to treat large or multiple focal defects, or as a salvage procedure to avoid total joint replacement, and aims to restore mature, hyaline cartilage in a biologically, structurally, and functionally appropriate manner. Repair outcomes may be influenced by the presence of viable chondrocytes within graft cartilage and the integration of the graft bone to surrounding host tissue. Thus, the overall motivation of this dissertation work was to develop an integrative and multi-scale approach to cartilage defect repair analysis by osteochondral allografts in order to expand the current understanding of in vivo cartilage and bone remodeling. A novel approach for analyzing in vivo cartilage defect repair by osteochondral allografts was developed using interdisciplinary and multi-scale analysis methods in the goat model. Maintenance of cartilage load-bearing function in allografts in vivo was associated with zonal maintenance of cartilage cellularity and matrix content. Reduced cellularity at the articular surface, resulting from 4°C storage, was associated with variable long-term outcomes, while allograft failure was accompanied with cartilage softening, loss of cells/matrix, and/or graft subsidence. Production of the lubricant, proteoglycan-4 (PRG4), from allografts was a useful marker of biological performance. 37°C storage supports long-term chondrocyte viability, especially at the vulnerable articular surface. Bone structure in allografts was altered in vivo compared to non-operated bone, with allografts displaying bone cysts, and bone surface channels with or without roughening at the bone-cartilage interface. This work has further elucidated the interrelationship between biological and structural aspects of cartilage and bone remodeling in vivo after osteochondral allografting. Such analysis has established the inferiority of 4°C stored allografts versus fresh allografts, identified potential biomarkers of allograft performance and alternative storage protocols, and provided insight into the pathogenesis of subchondral bone cysts during cartilage defect repair. Analyzing cartilage and bone biology, structure, and function in an integrative manner identified properties of the osteochondral tissue that are critical to repair efficacy and potential mechanisms of graft success/failure.
Download or read book Bone Transplantation written by Max Aebi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of an international symposium on bone transplantation, the first of its kind, held in Berne, Switzerland, on May 14-16, 1987. This symposium brought together some of the most outstanding experts - from all over the world, principally from North America and Europe -in the clinical bone transplantation and in basic research. It was an unique opportunity to summarize in a few days the state of the art in this field and to bring clinicians who carry out some research related to their work together with basic scientists. The clinician can on the one hand profit from the basis researcher's knowledge and on the other stimulate the researcher to share the orthopedic surgeon's interest in osteo articular allografts. The book, like the symposium, contains two types of contributions: 1. Papers from invited experts who have often dedicated a significant part of their professional life to the subject of bone transplantation. Knowledge which would otherwise be scattered among original papers from many different sources, some of it less firmly established and therefore less well known, is thus collected together in one volume, so that the reader does not have to weed out a mass ofless important material. These chapters may for a certain time act as a textbook on bone transplantation, but inevitably will eventually be superseded by new findings. 2. Descriptions of current research in all the main subjects covered in the state of-the-art papers.
