Mechanical Simulation of Articular Cartilage Based on Experimental Results
Recently, a constituent based cartilage growth finite element model (CGFEM) was developed in order to predict articular cartilage (AC) biomechanical properties before and after growth. Previous research has noted limitations in the CGFEM such as model convergence with growth periods greater than 12 …

Biomechanical And Biological Evaluation Of A Model Of Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis Following Noninvasive, Traumatic Rupture Of The Anterior Cruciate Ligament
… degenerative joint changes, and articular cartilage degeneration was most profound in the medial compartment of the femur. The two models yield in a differential bony remodeling response, and surgical ACL transection causes more drastic degenerative changes of articular cartilage. …

Effect of Rolling on Viscoelastic Fluids Using a Novel Testing Device
… device that could enable us to load articular cartilage with a rolling/sliding motion. This novel device was then used to observe the effect of a rolling motion on the fluid film thickness of different lubricants (motor oil, synovial fluid and Hyaluronic Acid (HA)) to varying loads (1kg, 2,kg, …

The Mechanism of Action of Hyaluronan Therapy as a Treatment for Osteoarthritis and the Assessment of Osteoarthritic Articular Cartilage Using Ultrasound
… hyaluronan (HA) therapy interacts with articular cartilage at the molecular and tissue level, and (2) whether quantitative ultrasound imaging can detect early degenerative changes in articular cartilage before irreversible osteoarthritic damage develops. By combining molecular characterisation, ex …
