Characterization of Osteoarthritis in a Medial Meniscectomy-Induced Animal Model Using Contrast-Enhanced X-ray Microtomography

Abstract: The aim of this study was to clarify degradation characteristics in each tissue of the knee complex of a medial meniscectomy (MMx)-induced knee osteoarthritis (KOA) animal model using classical methods and an alternative comprehensive evaluation method called contrast-enhanced X-ray micro-computed tomography (CEX-μCT), which was developed in the study. Surgical MMx was performed in the right knee joints of five male Wistar rats to induce KOA. At four weeks post-surgery, the synovitis was evaluated using quanti… Show more

“…The OA model, induced by ACLT and MMx, involved the transection of both the anterior cruciate ligament and patellar tendon [44,58,59]. MMx was performed as previously described [60]. Post-surgery, the joint surface was cleansed with sterile saline and 250 mg/mL ampicillin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) [61].…”
