Objective Knee osteoarthritis commonly requires joint replacement, substantially reduces
quality of life and increases healthcare utilisation and costs. This study aimed to identify …

The conventional mechanical properties of articular cartilage, such as compressive stiffness,
have been demonstrated to be limited in their capacity to distinguish intact (visually normal) …

Relationships between cartilage structure and superficial in situ chondrocyte deformations
were investigated from 6 different knee joint locations (n= 10 knees). Depth dependent …

In order efficiently to target therapies intending to stop or reverse degenerative processes of
articular cartilage, it would be crucial to diagnose osteoarthritis (OA) earlier and more …

Objective Quantitative and nondestructive methods for clinical diagnosis and staging of
articular cartilage degeneration are important to the evaluation of potential disease …

In vivo identification of early-stage cartilage degradation could positively impact disease
progression in osteoarthritis, but to date remains a challenge. The primary goal of this study …

Early detection of knee osteoarthritis (OA) is of great interest to orthopaedic surgeons,
rheumatologists, radiologists, and researchers because it would allow physicians to provide …

Objective. To investigate whether living human articular cartilage can be evaluated
quantitatively by means of a new diagnostic technique that introduces an ultrasonic probe …

OBJECTIVE: To explore whether longitudinal change in cartilage thickness in femorotibial
subregions of knees with radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA) differs from that in healthy knees …

OBJECTIVE:: To develop and apply a new video imaging technique to quantify and localize
Indian ink staining of cartilage of the rabbit femorotibial joint after the induction of …
