Spatiotemporal gait compensations following medial collateral ligament and medial meniscus injury in the rat: correlating gait patterns to joint damage
After transection of the medial collateral ligament and medial meniscus (MCLT + MMT) in the rat, focal cartilage lesions develop over 4-6 weeks; however, sham surgery (MCLT alone) does not result in cartilage damage over a similar period. Thus, comparison of MCLT + MMT with the MCLT sham group offers an opportunity to investigate behavioral modifications related to focal cartilage and meniscus damage in the rat. MCLT or MCLT + MMT surgery was performed in the right knees of male Lewis rats, with spatiotemporal gait patterns and hind limb sensitivity assessed at 1, 2, 4, and 6 weeks postsurgery... Mehr ...
