Introduction: Utilizing large animal model like male pig for biomechanical studies offers a cost-effective approach to understanding human joint and tissue mechanics. Our study explores the osteology and meniscus anatomy of the male porcine stifle joint and compares it to human knee joint parameters, aiming to provide a valuable reference for orthopaedic research and surgical training.
Methods: We examined 60 male porcine stifle joints and analyzed their menisci and bones.
In this editorial, we comment on the article by Toro published in the recent issue of . This editorial review provides a comprehensive exploration of the landscape surrounding knee arthroplasty metallosis, focusing on key aspects ranging from the mechanisms influencing susceptibility to clinical implications and advanced treatment strategies. We elucidate the complex interplay of implant design, patient-specific variables, and wear-related processes contributing to metallosis.
