Previous studies have shown that NaOH-treated two-dimensional PLGA films enhanced chondrocyte functions. In this in vitro study, a three-dimensional PLGA scaffold was fabricated and treated with NaOH.

Water distribution of human osteoarthritic articular cartilage has been characterized using terahertz time domain spectroscopy. The evaluation of water content in cartilage tissue can be helpful to ...

Fractures of the posterior process of the talus occur by direct impingement of the posterolateral tubercle on the posterior tibial plafond with forced plantarflexion of the ankle or as a bony ...

The posterolateral tubercle is identified and removed, creating a flat surface to facilitate placement of a screw. A Kirschner wire or small Schantz screw may be inserted into the body to ...

Studies suggest that in-depth processing of surface anatomy, as opposed to the origins and insertions of muscles, significantly enhances long-term retention of information (22). Another significant ...
