Radionuclide Uptake in Experimentally Induced Meniscal Lesions in Rabbit Knees

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 30, pages 229–230 (1989)Cite this article

Abstract

Internal derangements in the human knee joint caused by meniscal lesions affecting joint function are known to have influence on local radionuclide uptake (Nicholas & Holder 1980, Mooar et al. 1987). To elucidate the joint reaction to minor meniscal lesions, not interfering with knee joint function, a model involving the avascular central part of the medial meniscus was used. Lesions in this area are known not to heal spontaneously (Heatley 1980, Veth et al. 1983).
