People with cystic fibrosis (CF) exhibit growth defects. That observation has been attributed,
in part, to decreased insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) levels, and the reduction has been …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of pulsed electromagnetic
field (PEMF) exposure on healing tibial osteotomies in New Zealand White rabbits. Design: …

We tested whether inhibiting mechanically responsive articular chondrocyte mitochondria
after severe traumatic injury and preventing oxidative damage represent a viable paradigm for …

Bone fracture healing impairment related to systemic diseases such as diabetes can be
addressed by growth factor augmentation. We previously reported that growth factors such as …

Background: Joint instability has long been empirically recognized as a leading risk factor
for osteoarthritis. However, formal mechanistic linkage of instability to osteoarthritis …

Study Design. A biomechanical study comparing arthroplasty with fusion using human
cadaveric C2–T1 spines. Objective. To compare the kinematics of the cervical spine after …

Background Residual vertical displacement is often cited as being related to poor outcome
in patients with pelvic injuries. This study attempts to clarify the relationship between residual …

Serious meniscus injuries seldom heal and increase the risk for knee osteoarthritis; thus,
there is a need to develop new reparative therapies. In that regard, stimulating tissue …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether exposure to pulsed electromagnetic
field (PEMF) would shorten the healing time of regenerate bone in a rabbit tibial distraction …

The goals of this work were to characterize progression of osteoarthritic cartilage degeneration
in a rabbit medial meniscus destabilization (MMD) model and then to use the model to …
