Surface structure of articular cartilage. Historical review.
In the previous paper it has been shown that the surfaces of articular cartilage in living mammals and birds are not smooth but are covered by a series of secondary irregularities and of 20 to 30 [km. tertiary undulations, both superimposed on the broad primary anatomical contours (Gardner and McGillivray, 1971). The experiments from which this evidence has been derived have drawn attention to ...
متن کاملArticular cartilage: structure, injuries and review of management.
INTRODUCTION Chondral and osteochondral injuries are commonly seen in today's clinical practice. Articular cartilage provides an ultimate low-friction gliding surface, which none of the artificial constructs have been able to replace successfully. Retrospective review of the knee arthroscopies has revealed an underestimated incidence of this complex problem. Cartilage injuries in the knee joint...
متن کاملArticular Cartilage: Structure, Composition, Injuries and Repair
Articular cartilage has a unique structure that makes it very different from any other tissues in the body. It has such specific roles and functions such as weight bearing with low frictional coefficient that the main bulk of its structure is based on that alone, thus making it a vascular, and thereby greatly limiting its self regeneration capabilities. This article aims to review the structure...
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 کاملThe surface of articular cartilage contains a progenitor cell population.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that articular cartilage growth is achieved by apposition from the articular surface. For such a mechanism to occur, a population of stem/progenitor cells must reside within the articular cartilage to provide transit amplifying progeny for growth. Here, we report on the isolation of an articular cartilage progenitor cell from the surface zone of articular ca...
