Understanding the Structure-Function Relationship through 3D Imaging and Biomechanical Analysis: A Novel Methodological Approach Applied to Anterior Cruciate Ligaments.

Understanding the microstructure of fibrous tissues, like ligaments, is crucial due to their nonlinear stress-strain behavior from unique fiber arrangements. This study introduces a new method to analyze the relationship between the microstructure and function of anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL). We tested the procedure on two ACL samples, one from a healthy individual and one from an osteoarthritis patient, using a custom tensioning device within a micro-CT scanner. The samples were stretched and scanned at various strain levels (namely 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 6%, 8%) to observe the effects of mechanical stress on the microstructure. The micro-CT images were processed to identify and map fibers, assessing their orientations and volume fractions. A probabilistic mathematical model was then proposed to relate the geometric and structural characteristics of the ACL to its mechanical properties, considering fiber orientation and thickness. Our feasibility test indicated differences in mechanical behavior, fiber orientation, and volume distribution between ligaments of different origins. These indicative results align with existing literature, validating the proposed methodology. However, further research is needed to confirm these preliminary observations. Overall, our comprehensive methodology shows promise for improving ACL diagnosis and treatment and for guiding the creation of tissue-engineered grafts that mimic the natural properties and microstructure of healthy tissue, thereby enhancing integration and performance in biomedical applications.

Feasibility of a new endoscopic suturing device: a first Western experience (with video)

Endoscopic hand suturing (EHS) is a new technique for the closure of mucosal defects in the GI tract. Although this method was tested for wound closure after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in Japan, a feasibility test in a Western setting is lacking. In this study, we present our first experience with EHS for different indications and in different anatomic locations. The technical success of EHS and suturing speed were retrospectively determined for all available EHS cases in our center. Technical success was defined as complete closure of the mucosal defect or visually tight fixation of the target. A total of 19 EHS procedures were performed in 17 patients (mean age, 54.9 years; standard error of the mean [SEM], 4.2 years; male, 53% [n= 9]). Technical success was achieved in 78.9% (n= 15). Total EHS operation time was 40.0 minutes (SEM, 3.1 minutes) with 3.3 minutes (SEM, 0.2 minutes) per single stitch. In a constant team of endoscopist and assistant, mean stitch times declined significantly from the first 4 to the second 4 of 8 cases (4.0 [SEM, 0.6] vs 2.3 [SEM, 0.2] minutes, P= .02). EHS was technically feasible and applicable in different anatomic locations. Further studies may elucidate a possible effect on adverse event rates of endoscopic resections.
