Objective A role of microRNA, which are ∼22‐nucleotide noncoding RNAs, has recently
been recognized in human diseases. The objective of this study was to identify the expression …

The management of patellar dislocation syndrome has traditionally been difficult. There are
no golden standard methods for patellar dislocations probably due to the many etiologies. …

We report a biologic approach to improve medial collateral ligament healing using growth
factors normally expressed in healing tissue. Our previous in vitro work demonstrated that …

Background Interleukin (IL)-17 is an important factor in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis.
MicroRNA (miRNA)s are a family of non coding RNAs and associated with human …

Arthroscopic examination before anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction sometimes
reveals that there is a relatively thick ACL remnant bridging the femur and the tibia that may …

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the 2-year follow-up clinical results
of 45 patients who had undergone our anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) augmentation …

Objectives MicroRNAs, a class of noncoding RNAs, play roles in human diseases. MicroRNA-223
(miR-223) is reported to play critical roles in osteoclastogenesis. The purpose of this …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to biomechanically and histologically evaluate
whether intra-articularly injected mesenchymal stromal cells can accelerate the healing of a …

Background The quality of tendons has considerable limitations regarding torn rotator cuff
tendons. Tissue-engineering techniques using a biodegradable scaffold offer potential …

Meniscal tears in the avascular zone have very limited potential to heal because of a poor
blood supply. Although there have been many attempts to promote the healing potential of the …
