  2. 1. Early knee osteoarthrosis after meniscectomy : studies in rabbits

    Author : Anna Fahlgren; Stefan Lohmander; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Post-traumatic osteoarthrosis develops after intraarticular injuries. It is a disease, which affects both articular cartilage and subchondral bone, and progresses over 10-20 years. Irreversible damage has often occurred by the time clinical diagnosis is possible. READ MORE

  4. 2. Maturation-dependent normal and injury-induced changes in rabbit knee articular cartilage

    Author : Xiaochun Wei; Leif Ryd; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : rabbit; development; maturation; knee joint; articular cartilage; osteochondral defect; cartilage repair; joint fluid; subchondral bone volume fraction; proteoglycan fragment; transforming growth factor-ß; biomechanics; indentation; histology; hlstomorphometry; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Cartilage injuries are common in sports, and may on the long term develop to osteoarthritis. Prosthetic joint replacement is not satisfactory for young active individuals with extended cartilage injuries in large weight-bearing joints. In these cases, a treatment is needed which reestablishes normal joint surfaces by biologic means. READ MORE

  5. 3. Synovial metabolism after knee joint arthroscopy : a microdialysis study

    Author : Erland Högberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Microdialysis; synovial membrane; knee joint; arthroscopy; trauma;

    Abstract : Postoperative pain and swelling of the knee is a general finding after arthroscopy. In order to optimize and individualize the treatment it is of great importance to increase basic knowledge of perioperative local biochemical events in the synovial membrane. READ MORE

    Author : Magnus Lundberg; Per Renström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Isolated partial rupture of the knee medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most common traumatic knee ligament injury. Owing to the good short- and medium-term functional results after conservative treatment, this injury has been regarded as harmless. READ MORE

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common, severe knee injuries that result in a high risk of developing knee osteoarthritis (OA) in the affected individuals. As proof of high impact forces applied to cartilage and bone at the time of injury, traumatic bone marrow lesions and osteochondral fractures, located predominantly in the lateral tibiofemoral compartment, are commonly associated with an ACL injury.
