The rabbit knee is frequently used as an experimental model for cartilage repair, but the choice of different joint regions for such studies makes comparisons between methods difficult. Furthermore, there is only limited information available about the regional variations of the biomechanical proper

Previous laboratory measurements showed topographical variation in the properties of articular cartilage in several animal species and in humans. In this study we characterize for the first time the topographical variation of the stiffness of the human knee articular cartilage in vivo using a novel
## Abstract The distribution of proteoglycans (PGs) at 11 sites on the knee (stifle joint) cartilage of young female beagle dogs was studied following cast immobilization for 11 weeks in 90° flexion and after a subsequent remobilization for 15 weeks. Immobilization induced a reduction in PG uronic
## Abstract The recovery of articular cartilage from atrophy induced by joint immobilization was investigated in immature dogs. In a previous study, we showed that 11 weeks of immobilization of the knee (stifle) joint of young dogs reduced the concentration of articular cartilage glycosaminoglycans
