## Abstract Loss of or damage to the meniscus alters the pattern of loading in the knee joint and frequently leads to cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis. The mechanical properties of articular cartilage have been shown to reflect the extent of cartilage degeneration in human osteoarthritis a
Aims of the present study were to test the hypotheses that (1) the compressive properties of articular cartilage are affected more by changes in the medium ionic concentration than the tensile properties, (2) collagen network controls the compression-tension nonlinearity of articular cartilage, and
