Advances in current clinical modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging and
computed tomography, allow for earlier diagnoses of cartilage damage that could mitigate …

Objective An attempt to define pre-osteoarthritis (OA) versus early OA and definitive
osteoarthritis. Methods A group of specialists in the field of cartilage science and treatment …

Purpose This study aimed to conduct arthroscopic evaluation of cartilage electromechanical
properties and establish their correlation with International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) …

Recent advances in the development of new drugs to halt or even reverse the progression of
Osteoarthritis at an early‐stage requires new tools to detect early degeneration of articular …

Summary Objective The hand-held Arthro-BST™ device is used to map electromechanical
properties of articular cartilage. The purpose of the study was to evaluate correlation of …

Knee cartilage experiences site-specific focal lesion and degeneration, which is likely
associated with tissue inhomogeneity and nonuniform mechanical stimuli in the joint, for …

Background Osteochondral allograft transplantation has a good clinical outcome, however,
there is still debate on optimization of allograft storage protocol. Storage temperature and …

Many arthroscopic tools developed for knee joint assessment are contact-based, which is
challenging for in vivo application in narrow joint spaces. Second harmonic generation …

In the present study, the electro-mechanical properties of human knee articular cartilage
were measured in vitro. An arthroscopic measurement tool was used to measure streaming …

Objective Cartilage injury can lead to post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). Immediate post-
trauma cellular and structural changes are not widely understood. Furthermore, current …
