Over the last two decades, considerable progress has been reported in the field of cartilage
mechanics that impacts our understanding of the role of interstitial fluid pressurization on …

The shoulder is characterized foremost by its mobility and large range of motion. The
glenohumeral joint is notable for its relative lack of bony constraint, relying heavily on the …

To date, no anatomic or biomechanical studies have been conducted to clarify what size of a
Hill-Sachs lesion needs to be treated. Nine fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were tested in …

Cartilage is a soft connective tissue that is composed of a single cell type, chondrocyte, and
a highly specialized extracellular matrix (ECM). Three major types of cartilaginous tissues …

Objective: This study assessed the three-dimensional accuracy of magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) for measuring articular surface topographies and cartilage thicknesses of …

Nine fresh-frozen, human cadaveric shoulders were el evated in the scapular plane in two
different humeral rotations by applying forces along action lines of rotator cuff and deltoid …

OBJECTIVE: This experimental study tests two hypotheses which address outstanding
questions in cartilage lubrication: can the friction coefficient remain low under sustained …

A survey of some of the advances made over the past twenty years in understanding
diarthrodial joint biomechanics is presented. Topics covered in this review include …

Lesions of the superior portion of the glenoid labrum were created in seven cadaveric
shoulders. The shoulders were mounted on a special apparatus attached to a …

Background: Previous studies have indicated that the demands placed on the medial ulnar
collateral ligament of the elbow when it is subjected to valgus torque during throwing exceed …
