The Anatomy of the Medial Compartment of the Knee
2024年1月21日 · The rounded end of the femur bone (medial femoral condyle) sits on a flattened area of the tibia bone called the medial tibial plateau. In between the two bones lies a C-shaped piece of cartilage called the meniscus.
Articular Cartilage Defects of Knee - Knee & Sports - Orthobullets
2024年12月6日 · Articular cartilage defects of the knee comprise of a spectrum of disease entities from single, focal defects to advanced degenerative disease of articular (hyaline) cartilage. Diagnosis generally requires an MRI to accurately assess the location of specific defects.
Cartilage Injury and Cartilage Defects of The Knee
Have you been told that you are “missing cartilage” in your knee? The inner side of the knee or the medial femoral condyle is the most common area for a cartilage defect. Given its location, these are also the easiest cartilage defects to repair.
Anatomy of the Knee Joint - Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute
The femoral condyles are the two rounded prominences at the end of the femur; they are called the medial and the lateral femoral condyle, respectively. The motions of the condyles include rocking, gliding and rotating. Any abnormal surface structure or cartilage damage can lead to cartilage breakdown and arthritis (loss of cartilage padding).
Treatment Options for Cartilage Damage | Cartilage Defects of …
2011年3月29日 · MRI scan showed a full thickness cartilage defect (or torn cartilage) in the lateral (outer) femoral condyle. This is how it looks like during arthroscopy: The torn cartilage was found floating inside the knee. Sometimes it cannot be found. What are the usual symptoms to suggest a torn cartilage inside the knee joint?
Articular Cartilage Lesions of the Knee - Physiopedia
Non-isolated cartilage lesions accounted for 70% and isolated lesions for 30%.The patellar articular surface (36%) and the medial femoral condyle (34%) were the most frequent localisation of the cartilage lesions, while medial tibial plateau (6%) was the least frequent one.
Cartilage Injuries in the Adult Knee - PubMed Central (PMC)
Cartilage injuries are frequently recognized as a source of significant morbidity and pain in patients with previous knee injuries. The majority of patients who undergo routine knee arthroscopy have evidence of a chondral defect.
MRI EVALUATION OF KNEE CARTILAGE - PMC - PubMed Central …
MRI enables direct evaluation of the hyaline cartilage and reflects its biochemical and histological complexity. It is considered to be the best noninvasive method for assessing the joint cartilage because of its high softtissue contrast 2, 3, 4, 5.
Spatial Patterns of Cartilage Loss in the Medial Femoral Condyle …
These findings suggest that greater cartilage loss occurs in regions of the medial femoral condyle (MF) located somewhat posterior to regions that are in contact with the medial tibia when the knee is fully extended.
Articular (hyaline) cartilage restoration is a prized goal of orthopedic care because the clinical need is urgent and expanding. Articular cartilage enables the knee to tolerate shearing forces and absorb shock and loads up to 20 times the body's weight.
