Sharifi F, Amis A, 2000, Bioresorbable poly-DL-lactide-co-glycolide/bioglass 45S5 biocomposite for tissue engineering
The preparation of a bioresorbable composite material with adequate mechanical and biocompatible properties for tissue engineering applications was investigated. The Bioglass® (BG) and poly-DL-lactide-co-glycolid (PDLLA-co-GA) were mixed in different volume fractions. The mechanical properties of the 22.9% Vf BG mixture were found to be within the cancellous bone properties. The preliminary in vitro cell seeding tests showed that the biocomposite substrates support the cells. SEM-EDAX studies of the surface indicated the presence the a HCA layer necessary for eliciting osteoblast activity.
Shih Y, Bull A, McGregor A, et al., 2000, Dynamic ultrasound measurement of patellar lateral tracking, Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, Vol: 26, ISSN: 0301-5629
This study used ultrasound scanning to investigate the patellar medial/lateral shift (patellar lateral tracking) in sitting flexion/extension and squatting. A femoral clamp was used to hold the ultrasound probe during testing. In sitting, the patella moved medially from 90° to 20° knee flexion, then turned laterally to terminal extension. Similar tracking pattern was observed for squatting. ANOVA revealed that the patellar lateral position was greatly affected by the movement pattern (p<0.0005), and was also influenced by the gender for maximum medial position (p<0.05). Height, patellar width and patellar length were found to have a moderate to good correlation to the patellar lateral tracking. Student t-test showed good inter- and intra-rater test-retest relationship (p<0.05) for patellar tracking measurement. This is the first dynamic patellar tracking evaluation in vivo using a non-invasive method. Further research is necessary for the accuracy and validity of this method, and for evaluation of patellofemoral patients.

Amis AA, Kempson SA, 1999, Failure mechanisms of polyester fiber anterior cruciate ligament implants: A human retrieval and laboratory study, Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, Vol: 48, Pages: 534-539, ISSN: 0021-9304
It has been hypothesized that ACL implant failure is often caused by bone impingement in knee extension following malplacement of the tibial tunnel. This study examined polyethylene terephtalate fiber ACL implants retrieved from a clinical study, and, to confirm the hypothesis, also set up a laboratory study intended to duplicate the failure mechanism. SEM and TEM examination of 25 ruptured implants gave details of fiber failure morphology, with shearing into longitudinal fibrils, followed by rupture, when the fibrils burst apart. Cadaver joints were run in a knee simulator, with deliberately impinging ACL implants. SEM examination of implants abraded in the knee in vitro showed identical fiber damage patterns, thus confirming the impingement hypothesis.

This paper reports on a scientific workshop to study anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The aim is to present recommendations for ACL reconstruction methods that will be of use for surgeons. A study of knee anatomy and graft placement concluded that the tibial attachment must be posterior enough to avoid graft impingement against the femur, and methods to attain this were presented. On the femur, poor graft placement leads to excessive changes of the graft attachment site separation distance as the knee flexes, and the worst case corresponds to the attachment being too far anterior. It was agreed that there were typical patterns of graft tension changes as the knee flexes, and that grafts should be tensioned close to full knee extension. A typical tensioning protocol would be 60 N tension applied at 10 degrees of flexion. It was recognised that graft remodelling caused uncontrollable tension changes post-operation. Graft twisting, to recreate the anatomical spiral of ACL fibres seen in the flexed knee, was also discussed.

The techniques that have been used to characterize the biomechanical behavior of the knee, cruciate ligaments, and cruciate ligament replacements differ, making comparisons between studies difficult or, at times, impossible. Therefore, it is important to standardize the testing protocols and techniques that describe the biomechanical behavior of the knee and cruciate ligaments. This will allow investigators to express opinions with respect to the interpretation of data, rather than based on differences between testing techniques. Standardized techniques are proposed to locate the origins of the tibial and femoral coordinate systems, and thus, allow comparisons of knee kinematics (e.g., displacements and rotations) between investigations. Standard techniques that can be used to measure the load-displacement behavior of the knee are described, and important considerations that should be appreciated with respect to preparing and testing of the joint are summarized. It is important to evaluate the single cycle load-to-failure characteristics and the cyclic loading response of an anterior cruciate ligament graft, and techniques to evaluate cruciate ligament graft fixation are proposed. The strengths of different models to characterize the biomechanical behavior of the knee are reviewed.
