## Abstract The repair of joint surface defects remains a clinical challenge, as articular cartilage has a limited healing response. Despite this, articular cartilage does have the capacity to grow and remodel extensively during preβ and postβnatal development. As such, the elucidation of developme

This paper is a contribution to the study of growth in articular cartilage. The value other than academic of such a communication may not at first sight be apparent. But it must be realized that articular cartilage is by no means an inert tissue; on the contrary, it is exposed to continual wear for
## Abstract Synovial joints are elegant, critically important, and deceptively simple biomechanical structures. They are comprised of articular cartilage that covers each end of the opposing skeletal elements, synovial fluid that lubricates and nourishes the tissues, ligaments that hold the skeleta
## Abstract Focal damage to articular cartilage is common in arthroscopy patients, and may contribute to progressive tissue degeneration by altering the local mechanical environment. The effects of a focal defect, which may be oriented at various orientations relative to the subchondral bone, on th
## Abstract The articular cartilage of the incudomalleal joint appears to be secondary or chondroid cartilage, formed and maintained by the synovial cells of the joint space. It might be considered epiphyseal cartilage, forming chondroid cartilage and chondroid bone normally within the deep cartila
