Well, let's look first at delamination using cellular rose
0:04
as our point of reference.
0:07
I show it schematically on a histologic slide on your left
0:12
and I show the uh, here with a specimen.
0:15
Top right. And Mr.
0:17
Here we have an obliquely oriented horizontal like
0:22
abnormality extending into the mid region
0:25
of the articular cartilage parallel to some
0:29
of the cellular rows.
0:30
So this would be delamination if you were using
0:34
cellular rows as your point of reference.
0:38
Let's look now at the collagen.
0:40
If we have a pattern of delamination like this
0:45
horizontal in orientation parallel to the collagen
0:48
and the laminate Splendas,
0:50
it would look like a lot like failure
0:53
of the shingles of a roof.
0:56
Here is what it looks like in cartilage using this
0:59
particular picture.
1:00
Here is what it looks like histologically.
1:03
So this pattern of delamination does use collagen
1:10
and the result is cartilage fi.
1:14
Fibrillation would be the proper term to describe it.
1:20
Let's look at another example here.
1:22
The pattern of delamination is mainly vertical along the
1:26
arcades of benninghoff shown here with surface disruption
1:31
of the articular cartilage
1:32
and a horizontal vector again at the tide mark
1:37
between the noncalcified and calcified cartilage.
1:41
So here is what that would look like.
1:43
You can see here the region of surface disruption.
1:47
You can see the failure involving the deep portion
1:50
of the articular cartilage.
1:52
This is delamination
1:55
and as you look at the vertical orientation,
1:58
this represents in large part cartilage fissuring.
2:03
So now we've addressed this fissuring and fibrillation.
2:09
Here is an example of deamination involving that deep region
2:14
in the area of the tide mark concealed without any evidence
2:19
surface disruption.
2:21
There is a little bit of surface disruption right here.
2:24
The good arthroscopist can go in and probe this area
2:28
and sense that there is a hidden carpet like lesion
2:34
near the subcon bone plate.
2:38
A number of years ago, one
2:39
of our fellows said it's a little bit like failure
2:42
of a grapefruit, and he showed me and gave me these slides.
2:46
I mean, here we see failure at the surface,
2:49
simulating fissuring and fibrillation,
2:52
and here he is, peeled away the pulp.
2:54
And you can see this looks like failure at the tide mark.
2:58
Alright, as we showed in some of our examples.
