  2. 1. The Entheses of the Medial Meniscns and Ligaments of the Knee Joint : Descriptive and Experimental Studies

    Author : Jizong Gao; Michael Benjamin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : knee joint; meniscus; ligaments; insertion; enthesis; quantitative morphology; fibrocartilage; cement line; collagens; proteoglycans; nerve fibres; tensile strength; failure mode; transection; refixation; repair; healing; osteoarthrosis; histology; immunohistochemistry; biomechanics; rabbit model; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Meniscal injuries are common in sports. Surgical removal of the meniscus to relieve symptoms is associated with a high risk for late knee joint osteoarthrosis and pain. Meniscal repair or replacement has therefore been advocated. READ MORE

  4. 2. Clinical and radiographic outcome of meniscectomy and meniscus repair in the stable knee

    Author : Peter Rockborn; Thomas Fridén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Arthroscopy; Meniscectomy; Meniscus Repair; Follow-up; Arthrosis; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Increasing knowledge about the function of the meniscus and arthroscopy have made meniscus surgery more conservative. Arthroscopy was developed during the 70's and enabled the surgeon to select the most appropriate and tissue conserving therapy for a meniscus lesion. READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies on meniscus surgery with focus on preservation and meniscus function

    Author : Erik Rönnblad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of surgical preservation and restoration of the meniscus on knee function and outcomes. In Study I, 4497 patients with primary hamstring ACLR were evaluated regarding knee laxity preoperatively and at 6-months follow-up using KT-1000. READ MORE

  6. 4. Meniscectomy, meniscal repair, and prosthetic substitution : Clinical and experimental investigations

    Author : Karola Messner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : This study comprising 7 papers is concerned with different treatment of meniscal injuries. The aim was to analyse today's clinical methods and the possibility for prosthetic substitution in the future. Open peripheral meniscal repair was compared with partial arthroscopic meniscectomy in a 7·year follow-up evaluation of 130 patients. READ MORE

  7. 5. Novel biomarkers in regulating human dense connective tissue repair

    Author : Junyu Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Painful and degenerative disorders of the musculoskeletal system pose a tremendous burden on the healthcare system. One main reason is the limited knowledge of the underlying key factors and pathways responsible for the suboptimal and often varying healing outcomes of dense connective tissues (CTs), such as tendons, ligaments and knee meniscus, which have vital supportive, protective and force transmitting roles in the human body.
