Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that affects 25% of the world's population over
fifty years of age. It is a chronic disease of the synovial joints, primarily the hip and knee. The …

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been used to assess hyaline cartilage quality in
human and animal osteochondral tissues. However, due to the lack of NIR signal from bone …

Purpose To investigate the association of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI)
parameters with arthroscopic grading of cartilage degeneration. Arthroscopy of the knee is …

This study demonstrates the first real-time imaging in vivo of human cartilage in normal and
osteoarthritic knee joints at a resolution of micrometers, using optical coherence tomography …

OBJECTIVE: Structural and biochemical changes in articular cartilage occur throughout the
pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). Early changes include proteoglycan loss and collagen …

Objective: We investigated whether surface smoothness of articular cartilage in the medial
tibiofemoral compartment quantified from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be …

This study uses a bovine patella model to compare the relative merits of on‐bone
compliance and thickness measurements, free‐swelling behaviour, and structural imaging …

Objective To explore and to compare the magnitude and spatial pattern of in vivo
femorotibial cartilage deformation in healthy and in osteoarthritic (OA) knees. Methods One …

The in vivo pathomechanics of osteoarthritis (OA) at the knee is described in a framework
that is based on an analysis of studies describing assays of biomarkers, cartilage …
