Article Synopsis
- The tibial tuberosity consists of two parts: a superficial area with a patellar tendon and a deeper area of uncalcified cartilage; reduced calcification can lead to Osgood-Schlatter disease.
- A study involving 20 male Wistar rats examined how decreased mechanical stimulation (via hind-limb suspension) affected the structure and calcification of the tibial tuberosity compared to a control group, revealing significant differences in tissue maturity.
- Results indicated that reduced load on the tibial tuberosity led to pathological changes and calcification, underscoring the need for adequate mechanical stimulation through exercise to maintain healthy bone and joint structures.
As the number of bariatric and metabolic surgeries being performed is increasing, the importance of revision surgeries is escalating. In this report, we describe a case of revision surgery performed 30 years after vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG), including a review of the surgical techniques. The patient was a male in his 50s who had previously undergone VBG for morbid obesity (body mass index of 72.

Calcification in vivo is known to be constitutively suppressed by ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase-1 (ENPP1) but promoted by tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). FGF23 promotes calcification of enthesis.

Vector potential (VP) represents a novel physical therapy for treating OA. Since the impact of VP on articular cartilage remains unknown, we aimed to assess its effects on articular cartilage and its potential as a new treatment for OA.

Ten male swimmers performed a maximum of 15 m in backstroke, starting with or without a BSL. Two 120 Hz and one 60 Hz video cameras were used to analyse the kinematic variables and angular momentum of the whole body.
