## Abstract ## Objective To determine whether oral glucosamine alleviates cartilage degradation in an animal model of osteoarthritis (OA). ## Methods The effect of 8 weeks of daily oral glucosamine hydrochloride on degeneration of articular cartilage was evaluated in rabbits in which anterior cr
## Abstract ## Objective To observe redifferentiation of dedifferentiated chondrocytes after transplantation into the joint, and to evaluate the ability of dedifferentiated chondrocytes transduced with adenovirus containing bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMPβ4) to redifferentiate in vitro and in vi
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of gradual weight bearing (GWB) on regenerating cartilage. We developed a novel external fixation device (EFD) with a controllable weightβbearing system and continuous passive motion (CPM). A fullβthickness defect was created by resect
## Abstract Loss of or damage to the meniscus alters the pattern of loading in the knee joint and frequently leads to cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis. The mechanical properties of articular cartilage have been shown to reflect the extent of cartilage degeneration in human osteoarthritis a
