The significance of the fine structure of articular cartilage.
It is a general rule that the fine structure of a connective tissue is closely related to the forces it transmits. This rule, at its simplest, is exemplified in the longitudinal arrangement of tendon fibres, at its most complex in the trabecular structure of bone. Because fibre bundles in a fascia can be seen with the naked eye and because bone trabeculae are visible in a radiograph we are accu...
متن کاملArticular cartilage and changes in Arthritis: Collagen of articular cartilage
The extracellular framework and two-thirds of the dry mass of adult articular cartilage are polymeric collagen. Type II collagen is the principal molecular component in mammals, but collagens III, VI, IX, X, XI, XII and XIV all contribute to the mature matrix. In developing cartilage, the core fibrillar network is a cross-linked copolymer of collagens II, IX and XI. The functions of collagens I...
متن کاملStrain-rate dependent stiffness of articular cartilage in unconfined compression.
The stiffness of articular cartilage is a nonlinear function of the strain amplitude and strain rate as well as the loading history, as a consequence of the flow of interstitial water and the stiffening of the collagen fibril network. This paper presents a full investigation of the interplay between the fluid kinetics and fibril stiffening of unconfined cartilage disks by analyzing over 200 cas...
متن کاملDepth-dependent Relaxation of Articular Cartilage in Unconfined Compression
INTRODUCTION Articular cartilage (AC) is an inhomogeneous, anisotropic and multiphasic composite. Depth-dependent strain distribution in full thickness AC has previously been investigated with optical methods (Guilak, 1995; Schinagl, 1997; Wang, 2003). Depth and time-dependent compressive strain has been predicted with theoretical models (Li, 2000; Wang, 2001). Most recently, Electronic Speckle...
متن کاملCalcification in articular cartilage.
A man of fifty-seven was admitted to Queen Mary’s Hospital, Roehampton, in December I 957 complaining of general listlessness, effort dyspnoea and angina of effort of some fourteen months’ duration. Previously he had had attacks of left-sided renal colic, which started in 1928 and which necessitated a left nephro-lithotomy in 1944 and a left nephrectomy in 1948. Thereafter he remained moderatel...
