Contact mechanics modelling of articular cartilage and applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of articular cartilage. The normal cartilage is known to be an excellent bearing material with remarkable lubricating properties and very low frictional co-efficient and wear and generally survives the ...

Modified composite graft using diced autogenous cartilage for amputated ear reconstruction: A case report [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2019
Trauma to the auricle is common given its prominent position, and various methods for ear reconstruction exist. Herein, we present our experience of ear reconstruction using diced autogenous cartilage. A 72-year-old woman fell from a 1-m height, damaging

Assessment of the cartilage transplant thickness after removing of the tympanic membrane retraction pocket (finiteelement modelling)

open access: yesЖурнал Белорусского государственного университета: Математика, информатика, 2021
The retraction pocket emergence of the tympanic membrane (eardrum) leads to the sound conduction disorder of the middle ear. Surgical removal of fixed retraction pockets leads to perforations.

ELR+ CXC chemokine signalling in cartilage homeostasis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
PhDThe production of ELR+ CXC chemokines is widely studied in arthritis and has been postulated to contribute to the inflammatory phenomena that eventually lead to cartilage breakdown.

Are ankle chondrocytes from damaged fragments a suitable cell source for cartilage repair? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
To characterize the post-expansion cartilage-forming capacity of chondrocytes harvested from detached fragments of osteochondral lesions (OCLs) of ankle joints (Damaged Ankle Cartilage Fragments, DACF), with normal ankle cartilage (NAC) as ...

Human Ear Cartilage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The human ear (Fig. 1) is of an ovoid form, with its larger end directed upward. Its lateral surface is irregularly concave, directed slightly forward, and presents numerous eminences and depressions to which names have been assigned (Beahm, Walton, 2002; Walton, Beahm, 2002).

Precultivation of engineered human nasal cartilage enhances the mechanical properties relevant for use in facial reconstructive surgery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
To investigate if precultivation of human engineered nasal cartilage grafts of clinically relevant size would increase the suture retention strength at implantation and the tensile and bending stiffness 2 weeks after implantation.

Structural and Mechanical Comparison of Human Ear, Alar, and Septal Cartilage

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2018
Background:. In the human ear and nose, cartilage plays a key role in establishing its form and function. Interestingly, there is a noticeable paucity on biochemical, structural, and mechanical studies focused on facial cartilage. Such studies are needed

Correction of Asian Short Nose with Lower Lateral Cartilage Repositioning and Ear Cartilage Grafting

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2013
Background: Asians with short nose lack the cartilage needed to extend the length of the nose. A rhinoplasty technique using lower lateral cartilage (LLC) repositioning and ear cartilage grafting allows for sufficient nasal lengthening and nasal tip ...

Computational modelling of fluid load support in articular cartilage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Natural articular cartilage is known to be an excellent bearing material with very low friction coefficient and wear rate. Theoretical and experimental studies have demonstrated that the interstitial fluid of cartilage is pressurized considerably ...
