Carbon Dioxide Insufflation of the Knee in the Treatment of Full-Thickness Chondral Defects With Micronized Human Articular Cartilage.

ABSTRACT: BioCartilage (BC) is dehydrated, minced human hyaline articular cartilage that was developed as an adjunct to microfracture surgery to help stimulate the bone marrow and stem cells to form hyaline-like tissue in full-thickness chondral defects. The minced pieces of BC require a dry environment for application and can easily be disrupted by residual moisture of saline solution in the surrounding tissues. We present a technique of carbon dioxide insufflation during knee arthroscopy as a means of maintaining a dry environment for preparation of the bony bed during BC augmentation of microfracture surgery. This technique is safe and provides more than adequate visualization, as well as a dry environment, to make the arthroscopic application of BC significantly more efficient.

The 3D-Printed Bilayer's Bioactive-Biomaterials Scaffold for Full-Thickness Articular Cartilage Defects Treatment.

Project description:The full-thickness articular cartilage defect (FTAC) is an abnormally severe grade of articular cartilage (AC) injury. An osteochondral autograft transfer (OAT) is the recommended treatment, but the increasing morbidity rate from osteochondral plug harvesting is a limitation. Thus, the 3D-printed bilayer's bioactive-biomaterials scaffold is of major interest. Polylactic acid (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) were blended with hydroxyapatite (HA) for the 3D-printed bone layer of the bilayer's bioactive-biomaterials scaffold (B-BBBS). Meanwhile, the blended PLA/PCL filament was 3D printed and combined with a chitosan (CS)/silk firoin (SF) using a lyophilization technique to fabricate the AC layer of the bilayer's bioactive-biomaterials scaffold (AC-BBBS). Material characterization and mechanical and biological tests were performed. The fabrication process consists of combining the 3D-printed structure (AC-BBBS and B-BBBS) and a lyophilized porous AC-BBBS. The morphology and printing abilities were investigated, and biological tests were performed. Finite element analysis (FEA) was performed to predict the maximum load that the bilayer's bioactive-biomaterials scaffold (BBBS) could carry. The presence of HA and CS/SF in the PLA/PCL structure increased cell proliferation. The FEA predicted the load carrying capacity to be up to 663.2 N. All tests indicated that it is possible for BBBS to be used in tissue engineering for AC and bone regeneration in FTAC treatment.

Particulated Autologous Chondral-Platelet-Rich Plasma Matrix Implantation (PACI) for Treatment of Full-Thickness Cartilage Osteochondral Defects.

Project description:Articular hyaline cartilage injuries can occur as a result of either traumatic of progressive degeneration. When the articular cartilage in a joint is damaged, it can cause joint pain and dysfunction, predisposing patients for the development of early-onset osteoarthritis. There are many restoration procedures available to treat these injuries, such as bone marrow-stimulation techniques, osteoarticular auto/allograft transplants, and autologous chondrocyte implantation. Each of these techniques has its own limitations, which led researchers to explore new regenerative and repair techniques to produce normal hyaline cartilage. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe in detail the particulated autologous chondral-platelet-rich plasma matrix implantation (PACI) technique that could be used as a single-stage cartilage restoration procedure for treatment of full-thickness cartilage and osteochondral defects.

Treatment of glenoid chondral defect using micronized allogeneic cartilage matrix implantation.

Project description:Focal chondral lesions of the glenohumeral joint, though less common than chondral defects in the knee or ankle, can be a significant source of pain in an active population. For patients in whom nonsurgical management fails, promising results have been reported after arthroscopic microfracture surgery to treat such lesions. However, microfracture leads to growth of fibrocartilage tissue and is biomechanically less durable than native hyaline cartilage. Recently, augmentation of the microfractured defect with micronized allogeneic cartilage and platelet-rich plasma has been described to restore hyaline-like cartilage and potentially protect the subchondral bone from postsurgical fracture biology within the base of the defect. We present a simple arthroscopic technique of implanting dehydrated, micronized allogeneic cartilage scaffold to treat an isolated chondral lesion of the glenoid.

Repair of full-thickness articular cartilage defects using IEIK13 self-assembling peptide hydrogel in a non-human primate model.

Project description:Articular cartilage is built by chondrocytes which become less active with age. This declining function of the chondrocytes, together with the avascular nature of the cartilage, impedes the spontaneous healing of chondral injuries. These lesions can progress to more serious degenerative articular conditions as in the case of osteoarthritis. As no efficient cure for cartilage lesions exist yet, cartilage tissue engineering has emerged as a promising method aiming at repairing joint defects and restoring articular function. In the present work, we investigated if a new self-assembling peptide (referred as IEIK13), combined with articular chondrocytes treated with a chondrogenic cocktail (BMP-2, insulin and T3, designated BIT) could be efficient to restore full-thickness cartilage defects induced in the femoral condyles of a non-human primate model, the cynomolgus monkey. First, in vitro molecular studies indicated that IEIK13 was efficient to support production of cartilage by monkey articular chondrocytes treated with BIT. In vivo, cartilage implant integration was monitored non-invasively by contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography, and then by post-mortem histological analysis and immunohistochemical staining of the condyles collected 3 months post-implantation. Our results revealed that the full-thickness cartilage injuries treated with either IEIK13 implants loaded with or devoid of chondrocytes showed similar cartilage-characteristic regeneration. This pilot study demonstrates that IEIK13 can be used as a valuable scaffold to support the in vitro activity of articular chondrocytes and the repair of articular cartilage defects, when implanted alone or with chondrocytes.

The Use of Bone Marrow Concentrate in the Treatment of Full-Thickness Chondral Defects.

Project description:This article is a critical analysis of a study, "Minimally Manipulated Bone Marrow Concentrate Compared with Microfracture Treatment of Full-Thickness Chondral Defects: A One-Year Study in an Equine Model," by Chu et al. (J Bone Joint Surg Am. 100(2):138-146, 2018). The investigation compared two interventions in the management of full-thickness chondral defects in an equine model: autologous bone marrow concentrate without concomitant microfracture treatment versus microfracture treatment alone. This review analyzes the methodology and results of their investigation and examines how their findings may influence the continued development of therapeutic options for full-thickness cartilage injuries. The study utilized in vitro analysis, arthroscopic assessment, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation, and histological analysis to compare the treatments and their influence on the quality of cartilage repair. Although Chu et al. reported similar results between groups, their findings offer insight into the role of arthroscopy, MRI, and histology in the evaluation of repair quality. We compare their findings to those of similar investigations, highlighting the limited therapeutic options and variable clinical outcomes related to the treatment of full-thickness articular cartilage defects.

All-Arthroscopic Implantation of Minced Juvenile Chondral Allograft for an Isolated, Full-Thickness Chondral Lesion in the Trochlea of an Adult Knee.

Project description:Current use of juvenile chondral allograft (DeNovo; Zimmer, Warsaw, IN) within the knee is an emerging treatment option for full-thickness, isolated chondral lesions. Its implantation traditionally involves a formal arthrotomy for exposure. Arthroscopic implantation minimizes the morbidity associated with this treatment option yet retains the promising functional results already established in the literature. We present a technique for all-arthroscopic implantation of juvenile chondral allograft (DeNovo) for a symptomatic, isolated chondral lesion within the trochlea of an adult knee.

Knee Cartilage Thickness, T1ρ and T2 Relaxation Time Are Related to Articular Cartilage Loading in Healthy Adults.

Project description:Cartilage is responsive to the loading imposed during cyclic routine activities. However, the local relation between cartilage in terms of thickness distribution and biochemical composition and the local contact pressure during walking has not been established. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relation between cartilage thickness, proteoglycan and collagen concentration in the knee joint and knee loading in terms of contact forces and pressure during walking. 3D gait analysis and MRI (3D-FSE, T1ρ relaxation time and T2 relaxation time sequence) of fifteen healthy subjects were acquired. Experimental gait data was processed using musculoskeletal modeling to calculate the contact forces, impulses and pressure distribution in the tibiofemoral joint. Correlates to local cartilage thickness and mean T1ρ and T2 relaxation times of the weight-bearing area of the femoral condyles were examined. Local thickness was significantly correlated with local pressure: medial thickness was correlated with medial condyle contact pressure and contact force, and lateral condyle thickness was correlated with lateral condyle contact pressure and contact force during stance. Furthermore, average T1ρ and T2 relaxation time correlated significantly with the peak contact forces and impulses. Increased T1ρ relaxation time correlated with increased shear loading, decreased T1ρ and T2 relaxation time correlated with increased compressive forces and pressures. Thicker cartilage was correlated with higher condylar loading during walking, suggesting that cartilage thickness is increased in those areas experiencing higher loading during a cyclic activity such as gait. Furthermore, the proteoglycan and collagen concentration and orientation derived from T1ρ and T2 relaxation measures were related to loading.

Fresh Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Treatment of Articular Cartilage Defects of the Knee.

Project description:Articular cartilage damage of the knee can cause severe morbidity. Owing to its avascular nature, articular cartilage has limited potential for self-healing and increased propensity to progress to osteoarthritis. Treatment of large, full-thickness cartilage defects is still a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons but has recently achieved high success rates with the use of osteochondral allografts. This article details our technique of osteochondral allograft transplantation for the treatment of articular cartilage defects of the knee.

Zonal-Layered Chondrocyte Sheets for Repairment of Full-Thickness Articular Cartilage Defect: A Mini-Pig Model.

Project description:The cell sheet technique is a promising approach for tissue engineering, and the present study is aimed to determine a better configuration of cell sheets for cartilage repair. For stratified chondrocyte sheets (S-CS), articular chondrocytes isolated from superficial, middle, and deep zones were stacked accordingly. Heterogeneous chondrocyte sheets (H-CS) were obtained by mixing zonal chondrocytes. The expressions of chondrocytes, cytokine markers, and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) production were assessed in an in vitro assay. The curative effect was investigated in an in vivo porcine osteochondral defect model. The S-CS showed a higher cell viability, proliferation rate, expression of chondrogenic markers, secretion of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase, and GAG production level than the H-CS group. The expressions of ECM destruction enzyme and proinflammatory cytokines were lower in the S-CS group. In the mini-pigs articular cartilage defect model, the S-CS group had a higher International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) macroscopic score and displayed a zonal structure that more closely resembled the native cartilage than those implanted with the H-CS. Our study demonstrated that the application of the S-CS increased the hyaline cartilage formation and improved the surgical outcome of chondrocyte implication, offering a better tissue engineering strategy for treating articular cartilage defects.
