Conventional arthroscopic evaluation of articular cartilage is subjective and insufficient for
assessing early compositional and structural changes during the progression of post …

Background Mechanical tests to grade cartilage damage are limited by the instruments used
and by the ability to access all areas of cartilage within a joint. Better methods to diagnose …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the potential of near infrared (NIR)
spectroscopy for characterizing the health and degenerative state of articular cartilage …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the potential of near-infrared (NIR)
spectroscopy for categorizing cartilage degeneration induced in animal models. METHOD …

We have previously described a technology based on diffuse reflectance of broadband light
for measuring joint articular cartilage thickness, utilizing that optical absorption is different in …

We illustrated the anatomical aspect of the cartilage in a healthy and osteoarthritic knee
joint. Osteoarthritis is a disease of high ethical and economical importance. In advanced …

This study evaluates the feasibility of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to distinguish
between different cartilage injury types associated with post-traumatic osteoarthritis and …

The study compared the OARSI osteoarthritis cartilage histopathology assessment system
with the biomechanical quality of human in vivo cartilage samples. In a prospective cohort …

Osteoarthritis is traditionally associated with cartilage degeneration although is now widely
accepted as a whole-joint disease affecting the entire osteochondral unit; however site …

In order to evaluate the ability of the arthroscopic indentation instrument, originally
developed for the measurement of cartilage stiffness during arthroscopy, to detect cartilage …
