Nevertheless, there is currently no gold standard treatment for all indications. Minced cartilage implantation is increasingly coming into focus as a refined surgical technique.

Design: Skeletally mature, 6-month-old Wistar rats received unilateral intraarticular injections of saline, 500 U or 1000 U of collagenase on days 0 and 2 of the study. Joint tissues were harvested on either day 4 or 70 to evaluate the acute and long-term changes.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess isometric maximum muscle strength in orthopaedic patients and how it relates to factors like gender, age, weight, height, and BMI, as these values have not been previously defined for this group.* -
- A total of 311 patients were evaluated, revealing significant correlations between age, gender, weight, and height with muscle strength, while a decline in strength was noted after age 54, and males exhibited higher strength levels than females.* -
- The findings emphasize the need to consider factors like gender and age in future clinical research on muscle strength and rehabilitation, highlighting the importance of further studies across different populations and muscle groups to enrich current understanding.*
Background: Physiological 0.9% saline is commonly used as an irrigation fluid in modern arthroscopy. There is a growing body of evidence that a hyperosmolar saline solution has chondroprotective effects, especially if iatrogenic injury occurs.
