Abstract

Background

Autologous chondrocyte implantation is a NICE approved intervention however it involves the morbidity of two operations, a prolonged rehabilitation and substantial healthcare costs. This study describes a novel, one-step, bone marrow (BM) derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation technique for treating knee osteochondral lesions and presents our prospective clinical study investigating the success of this technique in 206 lesions over a 5 year period.

Methodology

The surgical technique involves harvesting BM from patients’ anterior superior iliac spines, centrifugation to isolate MSCs and seeding into a type 1 collagen scaffold (SyngenitTM Biomatrix). Autologous fibrin glue is used to secure the scaffold into the defect. Inclusion criteria included patients aged 15 – 55 years old with symptomatic osteochondral lesions >1cm2. Exclusion criteria included patients with ligament instability, uncorrected alignment, inflammatory arthropathy and a Body Mass Index >35 kg/m2. Outcome measures included the Modified Cincinnati Knee Rating System (MCKRS), complications and reoperations.

Abstract

Introduction

Total knee replacement (TKR) in patients with skeletal dysplasia is technically challenging surgery due to deformity, joint contracture, and associated co-morbidities. The aim of this study is to follow up patients with skeletal dysplasia following a TKR.

Methodology

We retrospectively reviewed 22 patients with skeletal dysplasia who underwent 31 TKRs at our institution between 2006 and 2022. Clinical notes, operative records and radiographic data were reviewed.

Aim

This aim of this study was to investigate apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and their upstream markers in Anteromedial Gonarthrosis (AMG).

Methods

Ten resection specimens, from patients undergoing unicompartmental knee replacement for AMG, and ten control specimens, collected from vascular disease patients undergoing above knee amputation, were used. Routine histology and immunohistochemical studies were conducted for Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL), Active Caspase 3, Cytochrome C, Active Bax, Bim, 3-Nitrotyrosine and Forkhead box O3A (FOXO 3A).
