Effects of calcified cartilage on healing of
chondral defects treated with microfracture in horses.
Some studies have shown that if platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is applied in
chondral lesions, signs of healing will be observed.
To our knowledge this is the only other case that has been reported of an irreducible patella in a young patient in which a
chondral defect became the block to reduction.
During arthroscopy there appeared a large just recently separated pure
chondral fragment at the dorsomedial femoral condyle with healthy appearing surrounding and opposing cartilage (Figure 2).
Moreover, measuring medial and lateral condylar motions individually rather than studying femoral motion as a whole might contribute to clarifying the mechanism of
chondral lesions in medial and lateral compartments after ACL injury.
CMF is characterized by
chondral, myxoid, and fibrous differentiation.
He reviewed pre- and post-accident MRIs of her left knee, finding no evidence of trauma, only "normal wear and tear" and
chondral calcinosis--also known as "pseudo gout"--which is not caused by trauma.
In the rhBMP-2 group, interspreading small
chondral islets were seen.
Oxygen radicals and nitric oxide levels in
chondral or meniscal lesions or both.
During my clinical practice I use mosaicplasty, microfracture, periosteal transplantation and, in rare situations, chondrocyte transplantation to treat focal
chondral defects," said Hangody.
In the STIR sequence, MRI demonstrated that
chondral bodies surround the first web space and second flexor tendon, (Fig.
Frisbie DD, Trotter GW, Powers BE, et al: Arthroscopic subchondral bone plate microfracture technique augments healing of large
chondral defects in the radial carpal bone and medial femoral condyle of horses.
