Cartilaginous lesions of the larynx are uncommon, approximately 250 cases being documented in the literature. In general, these tumours grow slowly, exhibiting only local aggressiveness. Distant metastases are rare. Up until now CT has been the best diagnostic tool for the evaluation of these tumours because it demonstrates intratumoral calcification so well. To the best of our knowledge there are no reports of the use of MRI for these lesions. Three cases of cartilaginous laryngeal tumours are presented, emphasizing the MRI features.

A meniscus injury is a common cartilage disease of the knee joint. Despite the availability of various methods for the treatment of meniscal injuries, the poor regenerative capacity of the meniscus often necessitates resection, leading to the accelerated progression of osteoarthritis. Advances in tissue engineering have introduced meniscal tissue engineering as a potential treatment option.

Background: The presence of a human tail is a rare condition resulting from an embryonic remnant that fits the definition of a caudal appendage. It may be a vestigial (true) or a pseudotail. Both may be considered markers of underlying intraspinal abnormalities.

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between preoperative whole-joint imaging evaluation of the knee with patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures after cartilage restoration surgery (mosaicplasty, osteochondral allograft transplantation, matrix autologous chondrocyte implantation).
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent knee articular cartilage restoration at our institution from 2014 to 2020. The patients' knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was evaluated with the Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS) and semiquantitative synovial inflammation imaging biomarkers of the preoperative MRI.

Background/objectives: Cartilage injuries and osteoarthritis are prevalent public health problems, due to their disabling nature and economic impact. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) isolated from different tissues have the immunomodulatory capacity to regulate local joint environment. This translational study aims to compare cartilage restoration from MSCs from the synovial membrane (SM) and dental pulp (DP) by a tissue-engineered construct with Good Manufacturing Practices.

: The aim of this study was to investigate how meniscal extrusion, assessed either with ultrasounds or magnetic resonance (MR), correlates with clinical symptoms in knee osteoarthritis (OA). One hundred patients with symptomatic knee OA were enrolled (60.3 ± 9.
