Damage to articular cartilage is a common injury, for which there is no effective treatment. Our aims were to investigate the temporal sequence of the repair of articular cartilage and to define a critical-size defect. Full-thickness defects were made in adult male New Zealand white rabbits. The diameter (1 to 4 mm) of the defects was varied in order to determine the effect that the size and depth of the defect had on its healing. The defects were made in the femoral groove of the

A series of 135 knee arthroscopies has been reviewed to determine the accuracy of detection of meniscal lesions. Arthroscopy and double-contrast arthrography achieved similar accuracy (84 per cent and 86 per cent) in the diagnostically more difficult

(LOS) in patients undergoing knee replacement is important for economic
and operational reasons. Few studies have systematically developed
a multivariable model to predict LOS. We performed a retrospective
cohort study of 1609 patients aged ≥ 50 years who underwent elective,
primary total or unicompartmental knee replacements. Pre-operative
candidate predictors included patient demographics,
