Open AccessAnalysis of proteins released from osteoarthritic cartilage by compressive loading
In osteoarthritis (OA), synovial pathology may be induced by proteins released from degenerated cartilage. This study was conducted to identify the proteins released from OA cartilage. OA cartilage was obtaine...

Open AccessThe attenuation of insulin-like growth factor signaling may be responsible for relative reduction in matrix synthesis in degenerated areas of osteoarthritic cartilage
In osteoarthritis (OA), cartilage matrix is lost gradually despite enhanced matrix synthesis by chondrocytes. This paradox may be explained, at least partly, by reduced chondrocyte anabolism in degenerated are...

Open AccessSuccessful treatment of a fracture of a huge Achilles tendon ossification with autologous hamstring tendon graft and gastrocnemius fascia flap: a case report
Fracture of an ossified Achilles tendon is a rare entity, and no standard treatment has been established. This is the first report to describe the use of a hamstring tendon graft and gastrocnemius fascia flap ...

Effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation on gap healing in a rabbit osteotomy model evaluated by quantitative micro-computed tomography-based cross-sectional moment of inertia
It has been previously demonstrated that low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation (LIPUS) enhances formation of the medullary canal and cortex in a gap-healing model of the tibia in rabbits, shortens the ti...

Comparison of ultrasound speed in articular cartilage measured by different time-of-flight methods
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether different time-of-flight (TOF) methods including amplitude-related methods, which determine tissue borders from the reflected wave itself, and the cross-cor...

A Robot Assisted Hip Fracture Reduction with a Navigation System
A fracture reduction robot is described as assisting in safe and precise fracture reduction. The robot is connected with pins that are inserted into the patient’s bone fragments, together with a customized jig...
