Contact mechanics modelling of articular cartilage and applications [PDF]
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]
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

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

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