The effect of low dose neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser therapy on cartilage healing was studied. Partialand full-thickness cartilage defects were surgically created in the femoral condyles of 20 adult dogs. The cartilage defects in one limb of each dog were exposed to 30 J of Nd:YAG

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Laser cartilage reshaping (LCR) involves the use of photoβthermal heating to reshape cartilage. Its clinical relevance depends on the ability to minimize thermal injury in irradiated regions. The present study seeks to understand the safety of LCR by determ
## Abstract Focal damage to articular cartilage is common in arthroscopy patients, and may contribute to progressive tissue degeneration by altering the local mechanical environment. The effects of a focal defect, which may be oriented at various orientations relative to the subchondral bone, on th
This study was carried out to investigate the effects of NdYAG laser-induced hyperthermia on murine F9 embryonal carcinoma cells in vitro using various power settings, temperatures, and exposure times. F9 cells were plated on gelatin-coated dishes, treated on the following day, and cultured overnigh
