We have correlated early material and biochemical changes in articular cartilage in a surgical model for cartilage degeneration. Metlial meniscectomy was performed on the left knee of 17 adult, female New Zealand white rabbits. The equilibrium Young's modulus of cartilage was assessed by an indentat

## Abstract ## Purpose To devise a method for producing in vivo MRI images of the knee under physiologically significant loading, and to compare and evaluate the changes in cartilage characteristics before and during in situ compression of the knee. ## Material and Methods A total of 26 asymptom
The objective of this study was the development and characterization of an in vitro model of the initiation of traumatic osteoarthritis (OA). Articular cartilage was obtained from seven healthy horses and from four horses diagnosed with OA. Cartilage disks were subjected to a single-impact load (500
The changes in tensile strength, elongation at break, and high strain modulus of dermal sheep collagen (DSC) during in vitro degradation using bacterial collagenase were studied. The changes in mechanical properties were compared with the change in weight of the samples as a function of degradation
## Abstract Calcium is thought to be an important regulator of chondrocyte death associated with articular cartilage injury. Our objective was to determine the influence of extracellular calcium on chondrocyte death following mechanical injury. Using a surgically relevant model of sharp mechanical
## Abstract ## Objective To investigate whether heterozygosity for a lossβofβfunction mutation in the gene encoding the Ξ±1 chain of type XI collagen (__Col11a1__) in mice (chondrodysplasia, __cho__) causes osteoarthritis (OA), and to understand the biochemical and biomechanical effects of this mut
