One hundred and fifty-eight individuals (88 female) with diagnosed midportion Achilles tendinopathy were divided into three groups based on the number of metabolic risk factors linked to cardiovascular disease present at baseline: two or more factors, one factor, no factors. Metabolic risk factors were determined by clinical evaluation and past medical history. Achilles tendinopathy symptoms (Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Achilles, Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System, movement-evoked pain ratings), psychological factors (Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia), triceps surae structure (B-mode ultrasound of tendon and muscle morphology, continuous shear wave elastography of tendon mechanical properties), and lower limb function (test battery) were compared among groups. Individuals with two or more metabolic risk factors had worse symptoms with loading (<i>p</i> = 0.011), smaller Achilles tendon size relative to body mass (<i>p</i> = 0.002), and worse lower limb function compared to individuals without metabolic risk factors (<i>p</i> < 0.02). No differences were observed between individuals with one metabolic risk factor and those without metabolic risk factors. Future consideration of multiple metabolic risk factors for individuals with Achilles tendinopathy could facilitate understanding the underlying impairments of tendon pathology and recovery that may be addressed with treatment.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16650,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Research®","volume":"43 4","pages":"728-738"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595086","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}

We compared the resulting bone strains against the fatigue strength of the bone (0.3% strain) as a criterion for local bone failure and the bone–implant micromotion against the threshold associated with bone ingrowth (20 µm). A thinner pelvic cortical shell and lower ischial cancellous bone density increased areas of bone at risk of failure, particularly at the ischial screws (from 6% to 38%), and decreased areas compatible with bone ingrowth. These findings agree with our clinical knowledge that compromised ischial bone and inadequate ischial fixation negatively impact the survivorship of flanged acetabular components.

Ten participants received sequential nerve blocks of the TFL, the Gmed/min, and the Gmax. Subsequently, abduction force was measured in the lateral decubitus position in three sagittal positions of the hip (30° flexion, neutral, 30° extension). In 30° flexion, the average abduction force was 220 N without block, 187 N with block of the TFL, 83 N with block of the Gmed/min, and 97 N with block of the Gmax, respectively. In neutral position, average abduction force was 213 N without block, 200 N with block of the TFL, 82 N with block of the Gmed/min, and 115 N with block of the Gmax, respectively.

We hypothesized that moderate-speed treadmill running would beneficially impact tendon biomechanics through increased tenocyte cellularity, metabolism, and anabolism whereas high-speed treadmill running would cause a tendinopathic phenotype with compromised tendon biomechanics due to pathologic tenocyte differentiation, metabolism, and catabolism. Contrary to our hypothesis, treadmill running exercise at these speeds had a nominal effect on the rat Achilles tendon.

The sensitivity of density predictions to μCT scan parameters was also evaluated with the lamb bone. Additionally, density predictions from medical-CT and μCT scans were compared using the in-house DCP. Finally, uncemented THA procedures were performed on three cadaveric femurs, each undergoing three μCT scans at various surgical stages to assess changes in bone density. The density predictions obtained using the in-house DCP achieved an accuracy of ±0.097 g/cc compared to QRM-50124, with a precision of ±0.052 g/cc.
