Fracture of Articular Cartilage
Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 1996Crack 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]
Journal 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, 1973IT 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, 1977This 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.

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

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 ...

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

The collagens of articular cartilage
Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 1991Articular cartilage contains at least five genetically distinct types of collagen. Types II, IX, and XI are cartilage-specific and are cross-linked together in a copolymeric network that forms the extracellular framework of the tissue. Fibrils of type II collagen provide the basic architecture.

Permeability of Articular Cartilage
Nature, 1968IN 1962, McCutcheon1 first drew attention to a decrease in the permeability of articular cartilage with increasing depth from the surface. This observation has been confirmed2 and the permeability shown to be inversely related to the fixed charge density of the cartilage matrix.

Lubrication of Articular Cartilage
Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2016The 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
