CALCIFICATION IN ARTICULAR CARTILAGE [PDF]

open access: possibleThe Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1960
A case of calcification of articular cartilage in association with a parathyroid tumour is described. Previously reported cases of articular calcification are briefly discussed, and it is recommended that patients with articular calcification of undetermined cause should be investigated for hyperparathyroidism.

Articular Cartilage Changes

Orthopedics, 2008
The morphologic changes of articular cartilage with bone grafting to fill subchondral bone defects were studied in 23-month-old New Zealand rabbits with bilateral tibial subchondral bone defects. The defects were made approximately 5 mm below the articular surface and were covered with surrounding tissues. The right side was filled with calcium sulfate

The Microhardness of Articular Cartilage

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1975
The standard metallurgical technique of microhardness testing was useful for investigations on the physical properties of articular cartilage. The problem of visco-elasticity of the cartilage was overcome by using a brittle lacquer coating as a memory device. The surface layer was the hardest plane when the superficial layer was intact.

Fracture of Articular Cartilage

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 1996
Crack formation and propagation is a significant element of the degeneration process in articular cartilage. In order to understand this process, and separate the relative importance of structural overload and material failure, methods for measuring the fracture toughness of cartilage are needed.

Restoration of Articular Cartilage [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 2014
➤ Novel (i.e., quantitative and semiquantitative) cartilage imaging techniques can evaluate cartilage composition to augment information obtained from traditional magnetic resonance imaging sequences that detail morphology.➤ A well-defined role for drugs leading to chondroprotection has not yet been determined.➤ Shortcomings of bone marrow stimulation ...

Fatigue of Articular Cartilage

Nature, 1973
IT has been suggested1 that fibrillation, the earliest change in osteoarthritic cartilage visible to the naked eye, may be the result of fatigue failure. Abnormally high stresses in the superficial layer of cartilage could be produced by unusually high applied loads, incongruity of the joint surface, or softening of the cartilage by mucopolysaccharide ...

Articular cartilage transplantation

Human Pathology, 1977
This report describes the biopsy findings in four of 30 patients treated with cadaver osteochondral shell allografts for osteoarthritis in the knee. This study demonstrates that graft cartilage cells can survive in excess of 25 months, and that host bone can completely replace graft bone by creeping substitution.

Microfracture of Articular Cartilage

JBJS Reviews, 2016
➢ Microfracture is a treatment option for symptomatic, full-thickness cartilage defects.➢ Microfracture is most likely to be successful when performed in nonobese patients under the age of thirty years for small (<2 to 4-cm2) femoral condylar defects that have been symptomatic for a short time (less than twelve to twenty ...

Lubrication of Articular Cartilage

Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2016
The major synovial joints such as hips and knees are uniquely efficient tribological systems, able to articulate over a wide range of shear rates with a friction coefficient between the sliding cartilage surfaces as low as 0.001 up to pressures of more than 100 atm. No human-made material can match this. The means by which such surfaces maintain their

Articular Cartilage Injuries

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2002
The acute and repetitive impact and torsional joint loading that occurs during participation in sports can damage articular surfaces causing pain, joint dysfunction, and effusions. In some instances, this articular surface damage leads to progressive joint degeneration. Three classes of chondral and osteochondral injuries can be identified based on the
