The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological and kinematic changes of the knee joint, in particular the patellofemoral joint, using a multibody simulation model. OwHTO with an open tibial wedge of 6-12 mm (1 mm intervals) was virtually performed on each of 13 three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design models (CAD models) derived from computer tomography scans of full-leg cadaver specimens. For each owHTO, an individual biomechanical simulation model was built and knee flexion from 5° to 100° was simulated using a multibody simulation model of the native knee. Morphologic and alignment parameters as well as tibiofemoral and patellofemoral kinematic parameters were evaluated. Almost linear changes in tibial tuberosity trochlea groove (TT-TG) (0.42 mm/1 mm wedge height) were observed which led to pathological values (TT-TG > 20 mm) in 3 out of 13 knees. Furthermore, a 6 mm increase in osteotomy wedge height increased lateral patellofemoral rotation by 0.8° (range: 0.39° to 1.11°) and led to a lateral patellar translation of 0.8 mm (range: 0.37-3.11 mm) on average. Additionally, valgisation led to a medial translation of the tibia and a decrease in the degree of tibial internal rotation during knee flexion of approximately 0.3°/1 mm increase in osteotomy wedge height. The increase in TT-TG and the biomechanical effects observed influence patellofemoral tracking, which may increase retropatellar pressure and are potential risk factors for the development of anterior knee pain.</p>","PeriodicalId":16650,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Research®","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141855805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the relevance of this observation in the context of common clinical foot disorders, such as progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD), has not yet been fully clarified. In this biomechanical study, we examined ten pairs of human cadaveric feet by serial weight-bearing cone-beam computed tomography under controlled loading using a custom-designed testing machine. The MLA and TTA were transected separately, alternating the order in two study groups. A semiautomated three-dimensional evaluation of their influence on three components of PCFD, namely collapse of the longitudinal arch (sagittal Meary's angle), hindfoot alignment (sagittal talocalcaneal angle), and forefoot abduction (axial Meary's angle), was performed. Both arches had a relevant effect on collapse of the longitudinal arch, however the effect of transecting the MLA was stronger compared to the TTA (sagittal Meary's angle, 7.4° (95%CI 3.8° to 11.0°) vs. 3.2° (95%CI 0.5° to 5.9°); p = 0.021). Both arches had an equally pronounced effect on forefoot abduction (axial Meary's angle, 4.6° (95%CI 2.0° to 7.1°) vs. 3.0° (95%CI 0.6° to 5.3°); p = 0.239).

MicroRNA-26a (miR-26a) has been reported to be associated with fibrosis in several organs. This study aims to reveal the role of miR-26a on fibrosis in the shoulder capsule using a frozen shoulder model in miR-26a deficient (miR-26a KO) mice. MiR-26a KO and wild-type (WT) mice were investigated using a frozen shoulder model. The range of motion (ROM) of the shoulder, histopathological changes such as synovitis, and fibrosis-related gene expression in the model mice were evaluated to determine the role of miR-26a. In WT mice, both inflammatory cell infiltration and thickening of the inferior shoulder joint capsule were observed after 1 week of immobilization, and this thickening further progressed over the subsequent 6 weeks. However, the immobilized shoulder in miR-26a KO mice consistently exhibited significantly better ROM compared with WT mice at 1 and 6 weeks, and histological changes were significantly less severe. The expression of inflammation- and fibrosis-related genes was decreased in the miR-26a KO mice compared with WT mice at 1 and 6 weeks. Together, miR-26a deficiency attenuated the severity of frozen shoulder in the immobilization model mouse.

We previously developed a rat hemiarthroplasty model that exhibited progressive loss of fixation with the development of cement-bone gaps under the tibial tray that mimicked patterns found in human arthroplasty retrievals. Here we explored the ability of a bisphosphonate (zoledronic acid, ZA) to attenuate cement-bone osteolysis and maintain implant stability. Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 59) received a poly(methylmethacrylate) cemented tibial component and were followed for up to 12 weeks. Treatment groups included peri-operative administration of ZA (ZA group), administration of ZA at 6 weeks postop (late ZA group), or vehicle (Veh group). There was a 60% reduction in the rate of cement-bone gap formation for the ZA group (0.15 mm³/week) compared to Veh group (0.38 mm³/week, p = 0.016). Late ZA prevented further progression of gap formation but did not reverse bone loss to the level achieved in the ZA group. Micromotion from five times body weight toggle loading was positively correlated with cement-bone gap volume (p = 0.009) and negatively correlated with the amount of cement in the metaphysis (p = 0.005). Reduced new bone formation and enduring nonviable bone in the epiphysis for the ZA group were found. This suggests that low bone turnover in the epiphysis may suppress the early catabolic response due to implantation, thereby maintaining better fixation in the epiphysis.

T2 relaxation time was measured in subregions of the femoral condyle and the tibial plateau. The root-mean-square coefficient of variation (RMS_CV) was calculated to evaluate the reliability of T2 relaxation time in the contralateral knee. Subregion changes in the affected knee T2 relaxation time were identified using the contralateral knee as a reference. The superficial and full thickness layers of the central and inner regions showed good reliability. Conversely, the outer regions on the femoral side and regions in the deep layers showed poor reliability. T2 relaxation time increased in only 3 regions on the affected knee when controlling for changes in the contralateral knee, while changes in T2 relaxation time were identified in 14 regions when not using the contralateral knee as a reference.
