osteoarthritic menisci and meniscal cell culture
The results of a study published online on March 30th 2010 could very well present a treatment dilemma in OA patients with concomitant osteoporosis.
How to insure target tissue specific outcome for Ca++ supplementation therapy in these type of patients?

Abstract is available here which includes a link to the complete article as a provisional PDF.
