The Biomechanics of Cartilage: Comparison
View Latest Version
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Vivi Li and Version 1 by Filippo Migliorini.

Articular cartilage (AC) sheathes joint surfaces and minimizes friction in diarthrosis. The resident cell population, chondrocytes, are surrounded by an extracellular matrix and a multitude of proteins, which bestow their unique characteristics. AC is characterized by a zonal composition (superficial (tangential) zone, middle (transitional) zone, deep zone, calcified zone) with different mechanical properties. An overview is given about different testing (load tests) methods as well as different modeling approaches.

  • Articular cartilage
  • viscoelasticity
  • biomechanics
  • tissue engineering
  • osteoarthritis
