Dry arthroscopy with a retraction system for matrix-aided cartilage repair of patellar lesions.

ABSTRACT: Several commercially available cartilage repair techniques use a natural or synthetic matrix to aid cartilage regeneration (e.g., autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis or matrix-induced cartilage implantation). However, the use of matrix-aided techniques during conventional knee joint arthroscopy under continuous irrigation is challenging. Insertion and fixation of the matrix can be complicated by the presence of fluid and the confined patellofemoral joint space with limited access to the lesion. To overcome these issues, we developed a novel arthroscopic approach for matrix-aided cartilage repair of patellar lesions. This technical note describes the use of dry arthroscopy assisted by a minimally invasive retraction system. An autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis procedure is used to illustrate this novel approach.

Dry arthroscopy with a simple retraction technique for knee joint cartilage repair using allogenic human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cell treatment has become more widely available and has shown promising potential for the repair of knee articular cartilage defects. More recently, open arthrotomy has been performed via a para-patellar incision for cartilage repair using allogenic human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs). However, arthroscopy allows better visualization and leads to earlier gain of the range of motion and less scar formation than open arthrotomy, especially in the knee joint. In this study, we present an easy and effective technique for arthroscopic hUCB-MSCs implantation without any special equipment.

Cartilage Repair in the Knee Using Umbilical Cord Wharton's Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Embedded Onto Collagen Scaffolding and Implanted Under Dry Arthroscopy.

Project description:Cell-based cartilage repair procedures are becoming more widely available and have shown promising potential to treat a wide range of cartilage lesion types and sizes, particularly in the knee joint. More recently, techniques have evolved from 2-step techniques that use autologous chondrocyte expansion to 1-step techniques that make use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) embedded onto biocompatible scaffolding. Our 1-step technique has been further developed to provide cell-based cartilage repair using MSCs that have the potential to be used in an off-the-shelf manner, without the need for autologous tissue harvest. Precursor MSCs can be isolated in abundance from the Wharton's jelly of umbilical cord tissue. These cells have been shown to have the desired capacity for proliferation, differentiation, and release of trophic factors that make them an excellent candidate for use in the clinical setting to provide cell-based restoration of hyaline-like cartilage. Although allogeneic in nature, these cells stimulate little or no host immune response and can be stored for long periods while maintaining viability. We present a technique of cartilage repair in the knee using Wharton's jelly-derived MSCs embedded onto scaffolding and implanted in a minimally invasive fashion using dry arthroscopy.

Matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation grafting in osteochondral lesions of the talus: Evaluation of cartilage repair using T2 mapping.

Project description:Osteochondral lesions of the talus may be treated with different autologous biological approaches. These include platelet-rich plasma, stem cells or MACI and ACI. MACI implants are used to cover cartilage lining defects in the ankle. A total of 18 patients were treated with MACI implants. NMR images were taken before and after the procedure. T2 mapping was used to quantify the changes in cartilage collagen after a 6 12-month postoperative period. Increase in collagen was recorded on all patients. Both open and arthroscopic procedures were performed depending on the technical difficulties encountered during the repair.

Dry Arthroscopy of the Elbow.

Project description:Dry arthroscopy is attractive because it affords an unsurpassed clarity of view and minimizes swelling. The elbow is a challenging joint to assess arthroscopically; however, dry arthroscopy has some particular benefits in the elbow. The primary benefit is the quality of the tissue definition, but dry arthroscopy also increases the working time for surgery by reducing swelling and results in less postoperative discomfort for the patient. With dry arthroscopy, all joint surfaces are covered in synovial fluid, which reflects light, to provide a clearer image of the joint surfaces and depth of field. The air-fluid interface provides an uninterrupted appreciation of the synovial recesses and tissue perfusion. This article describes the technique and indications for dry elbow arthroscopy, which will allow other surgeons to reap the benefits of dry arthroscopy without the need for special equipment or changes in their basic technique.

Dry arthroscopy of the shoulder.

Project description:A technique to perform glenohumeral arthroscopy without using arthroscopic fluid for visualization or instrumentation is presented. The patient is placed in the beach-chair position. No traction is applied. Portal placement is performed as usual. Water flow is used only sporadically to wash the joint cavity, and then it is immediately aspirated with a synoviotome suction pump. The entire exploration and instrumentation occur within a pressure-free dry joint. We have applied this technique in more than 50 patients, and in none of these cases was there a need to switch from the dry to the wet technique. By use of this surgical technique, intra-articular shoulder pathology treatment can be performed in a more accurate biomechanical and physiological scenario. It avoids many visualization and instrumentation inconveniences, as well as the risk of some major complications. Joint distension with fluid becomes unnecessary, making it possible to use medium-sized incisions to perform and simplify complex procedures.

Quantitative laryngoscopy with computer-aided diagnostic system for laryngeal lesions.

Project description:Laryngoscopes are widely used in the clinical diagnosis of laryngeal lesions, but such diagnosis relies heavily on the physician's subjective experience. The purpose of this study was to develop a computer-aided diagnostic system for the detection of laryngeal lesions based on objective criteria. This study used the distinct features of the image contour to find the clearest image in the laryngoscopic video. First to reduce the illumination problem caused by the laryngoscope lens, which could not fix the position of the light source, this study proposed image compensation to provide the image with a consistent brightness range for better performance. Second, we also proposed a method to automatically screen clear images from laryngoscopic film. Third, we used ACM to segment automatically them based on structural features of the pharynx and larynx, using hue and geometric analysis in the vocal cords and other zones. Finally, the support vector machine was used to classify laryngeal lesions based on a decision tree. This study evaluated the performance of the proposed system by assessing the laryngeal images of 284 patients. The accuracy of the detection for vocal cord polyps, cysts, leukoplakia, tumors, and healthy vocal cords were 93.15%, 95.16%, 100%, 96.42%, and 100%, respectively. The cross-validation accuracy for the five classes were 93.1%, 94.95%, 99.4%, 96.01% and 100%, respectively, and the average test accuracy for the laryngeal lesions was 93.33%. Our results showed that it was feasible to take the hue and geometric features of the larynx as signs to identify laryngeal lesions and that they could effectively assist physicians in diagnosing laryngeal lesions.

Osteochondral Allograft Transplant for Combined Medial and Lateral Patellar Cartilage Lesions: The Osteochondral Wide Lesion (OWL) Technique.

Project description:Symptomatic articular cartilage injuries are often seen in young active patients and athletes. Magnetic resonance imaging screening examinations have frequently identified such lesions in athletic patients. Patellofemoral chondral defects were previously identified as the most common knee cartilage lesion in high-level athletes. Chondral defects measuring 2 cm2 or greater and complex cartilage defects involving bone loss are ideally replaced with fresh osteochondral allograft. We describe a technique indicated for patients with symptomatic and recurrent anterior knee pain associated with osteochondral patellar defects including the lateral and medial patellar facets. Patients who have undergone previous interventions, including membrane techniques, microfracture, or autologous chondral transplantation, without clinical benefit are also eligible to undergo osteochondral allograft transplantation for combined medial and lateral patellar cartilage lesions, that is, the osteochondral wide lesion (OWL) technique.

The rigid curette technique for the application of fibrin bioadhesive during hip arthroscopy for articular cartilage lesions.

Project description:Encouraging midterm results have recently been reported for the arthroscopic treatment of delaminating articular cartilage lesions at the capsulolabral junction of the hip joint using fibrin bioadhesive. The needle used to introduce the bioadhesive is long, flexible, and often difficult to position. We describe a novel technique for introducing the needle that allows accurate placement behind the delaminated articular cartilage pocket during hip arthroscopy.

Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) in murine brachiocephalic and carotid atherosclerotic lesions.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the hypothesis that COMP can influence the morphology, stability and size of murine atherosclerotic lesions.MethodsApoE- and ApoE/COMP-knockout mice were fed a high-fat diet to develop atherosclerotic plaques at lesion sites of three different types; inflammatory and fibrous plaques induced in the carotid artery by low or oscillatory shear stress, respectively, and spontaneously developing plaques in the brachiocephalic artery. The localization of COMP in the plaques and the effect of COMP deficiency on plaque development were evaluated.ResultsCOMP immunoreactivity was observed in about half of the investigated plaques from the ApoE null mice, mainly located along the intima-medial border. There were no significant differences in the size of inflammatory and fibrous carotid plaques between the genotypes. Plaques in the brachiocephalic artery from ApoE mice lacking COMP were increased in size with 54%. In these plaques the collagen content was also increased by 48%. There were no differences in relative collagen content in inflammatory and fibrous carotid plaques between genotypes. Polarized light microscopy showed that the increase in total collagen in brachiocephalic plaques was more than proportionally accounted for by an increase in thicker collagen fibrils.ConclusionWe have shown that COMP deficiency has a significant impact on atherosclerotic plaque morphology and size. Our data also suggest that an altered collagen metabolism may be an important mechanism in this finding.

Volumetric Characterization of Human Patellar Cartilage Matrix on Phase Contrast X-Ray Computed Tomography.

Project description:Phase contrast X-ray computed tomography (PCI-CT) has recently emerged as a novel imaging technique that allows visualization of cartilage soft tissue, subsequent examination of chondrocyte patterns, and their correlation to osteoarthritis. Previous studies have shown that 2D texture features are effective at distinguishing between healthy and osteoarthritic regions of interest annotated in the radial zone of cartilage matrix on PCI-CT images. In this study, we further extend the texture analysis to 3D and investigate the ability of volumetric texture features at characterizing chondrocyte patterns in the cartilage matrix for purposes of classification. Here, we extracted volumetric texture features derived from Minkowski Functionals and gray-level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM) from 496 volumes of interest (VOI) annotated on PCI-CT images of human patellar cartilage specimens. The extracted features were then used in a machine-learning task involving support vector regression to classify ROIs as healthy or osteoarthritic. Classification performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). The best classification performance was observed with GLCM features correlation (AUC = 0.83 ± 0.06) and homogeneity (AUC = 0.82 ± 0.07), which significantly outperformed all Minkowski Functionals (p < 0.05). These results suggest that such quantitative analysis of chondrocyte patterns in human patellar cartilage matrix involving GLCM-derived statistical features can distinguish between healthy and osteoarthritic tissue with high accuracy.
