What's the difference between meniscal and meniscus?
Meniscal
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to, or having the form of, a meniscus.
Example Sentences:
(1) If a tear is found, remove all unstable meniscal fragments, leaving a rim, if possible, especially adjacent to the popliteus recess, and then proceed to open cystectomy.

(9) Excluding the six patients who had had additional surgical treatment, none of the fifty-two patients who filled out a questionnaire reported that they had symptoms of a meniscal lesion, and none of the forty-two patients who were re-examined two years or more after the operation had signs of a meniscal lesion.
(10) Interactions among the important constituents of the fibrocartilage matrix cause meniscal tissue to behave as a fiber-reinforced, porous, permeable composite material similar to articular cartilage, in which frictional drag caused by fluid flow governs its response to dynamic loading.
(11) Untreated knee instability predispose to meniscal lesions, chondromalacia, and osteoarthritis of the knee.
(12) Since prosthetic meniscal replacement may be performed in the setting of normal articular cartilage, a prosthesis will be required to match the exact joint configuration, induce the same lubricity, produce the same coefficient of friction, and absorb and dampen the same joint forces (without incurring significant creep or abrasion) as does the normal meniscus.
(13) Treatment of meniscal injuries did not affect the long-term results.
(14) Experimental procedures using laser Doppler flowmetry have shown this to be a precise and simple tool for the evaluation of meniscal blood flow.
(15) Our study revealed a significant probability of anterior cruciate ligament tear or meniscal tear in the acute hemarthrosis.
(16) Arthroscopic examination of these patients disclosed 30 meniscal tears and five anterior cruciate ligament tears in 28 patients.
(17) Evaluation of meniscal pathology has been central to this development.
(18) Ligamentous injuries of the knee are more common in basketball than in soccer players, but they have fewer meniscal injuries than the latter.
(19) Histological examinations revealed proliferation of vascularized synovial tissue along the meniscal surface and invasion of para-meniscal connective tissue into the meniscal substance.
(20) At present, little data exists describing the meniscal kinematics of the intact knee.
Meniscus
Definition:
(n.) A crescent.
(n.) A lens convex on one side and concave on the other.
(n.) An interarticular synovial cartilage or membrane; esp., one of the intervertebral synovial disks in some parts of the vertebral column of birds.
Example Sentences:
(1) Isolated meniscus pathology (12.48%) was treated by arthroscopy alone, and refixation of the medial meniscus was carried out using the inside-out technique in 27 cases.
(2) The disruption of collagen fiber binding in the meniscus by normal saline is time and temperature dependent.
(3) However, attempts to correlate meniscus height with subsequent Schirmer test results showed that these measurements varied randomly.
(4) The functional microcirculatory system of the meniscus was investigated in nine sheep using laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF).
(5) However, even after 6 months, the central core of the meniscus remained acellular.
(6) This technique, called selective magnetic resonance imaging, yielded excellent visualization of the posterior cruciate ligament, medial meniscus, and lateral meniscus in all patients.
(7) Windshields, spectacles, contact lenses, lashes, an excessive tear meniscus, intraocular lens scratches, and posterior capsular opacification are possible causes that can be easily identified and treated.
(8) On the other hand, if there are sure indications of a tear, sonography of the meniscus makes it possible to introduce therapeutic measures immediately and thereby to avoid any possible secondary damage.
(9) Since prosthetic meniscal replacement may be performed in the setting of normal articular cartilage, a prosthesis will be required to match the exact joint configuration, induce the same lubricity, produce the same coefficient of friction, and absorb and dampen the same joint forces (without incurring significant creep or abrasion) as does the normal meniscus.
(10) Nine pedunculated benign synoviomata causing mechanical symptoms similar to those of a torn meniscus are described.
(11) A graft consisting of semitendinosus and gracilis (SG) tendons is passed under the anterior horn of the medial meniscus through the knee joint, then brought out through the posterior capsule and secured to the lateral femoral metaphysis.
(12) Conservative surgical treatment without excision of the synovial membrane or meniscus but including arthroplasty of both the eminence and the lateral side of the glenoid fossa was successful.
(13) The treatment of the discoid meniscus is based on total or partial meniscectomy, achieved by the percutaneous or arthrometric technique.
(14) Quite a lot of things here are variations on the idea of enclosure, putting a roof up, spreading some kind of meniscus over the land.
(15) This usually results from intermittent visualization of the meniscus out of direct profile to the x-ray beam.
(16) For comparison, normal-appearing cartilage specimens from 2 patients with meniscus injury and 2 with degenerative joint disease (DJD) were also examined.
(17) If Rose has the meniscus removed that would allow him to return to the league quicker but it's a risky move, one that could shorten his career.
(18) There was a 14.4% diagnostic error that caused us to remove the meniscus without demonstrable pathology.
(19) Vascularisation of the meniscus was studied in 12 cadaver knees after latex injection of vessels.
(20) Although not within the scope of this article, acute arthroscopic repair of a torn meniscus, evaluation of the degree of tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, and arthroscopic repair of osteochondral fractures are all benefited by acute arthroscopic examination.
