Minimally Invasive Destabilization of M edial Meniscus (DMM ) Osteoarthritis Mouse Model

This study aims to characterize the histologic development of osteoarthritis (OA) in a mouse model and minimize surgical trauma through a minimally invasive approach. The goal is to achieve faster recovery and early weight bearing for the mice.

  1. Minimally Invasive Destabilization of Medial Meniscus (DMM) Osteoarthritis Mouse Model Dr. Anirudh Sharma M.B.B.S., M.S. (Orthopaedics)

  2. Aims • Characterize histologic development of OA • Minimize surgical trauma • Faster recovery & early weight bearing

  3. Rationale • Mimic human conditions • Eliminate confounders related to extensive surgical exposure • Decrease operative time

  4. Method • Surface mark entry portal • 1 mm x 1 mm (length x depth) incision • Curette IFP and locate MM • Identify MMTL & incise under direct vision • Wash and closure (single suture/tissue adhesive)

  5. Images

  6. Results • Waiting for histology slides and scoring.
