replacement of the proximal tibia for tumour and alloplastic reconstruction
of the extensor mechanism using the patellar-loop technique. Between February 1998 and December 2009, we carried out wide
local excision of a primary sarcoma of the proximal tibia, proximal
tibial replacement and reconstruction of the extensor mechanism
using the patellar-loop technique in 18 patients. Of these, nine

Previous studies support the important role of
vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and syndecan-4 in the pathogenesis
of osteoarthritis (OA). Both VEGF and syndecan-4 are expressed by
chondrocytes and both are involved in the regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-3,
resulting in the activation of aggrecanase II (ADAMTS-5), which
is essential in the pathogenesis of OA. However, the relationship
between VEGF and syndecan-4 has not been established. As a pilot
study, we assayed the expression of VEGF and syndecan-4 in cartilage
samples and cultured chondrocytes from osteoarthritic
Total knee replacement and high tibial osteotomy are common orthopaedic operations with low complication rates. Such surgery is in close proximity to the popliteal artery (PA), the behaviour of which during flexion of the
