In the past decades, considerable efforts have been made to propose experimental and
clinical treatments for articular cartilage defects. Yet, the problem of cartilage defects …

Advances in computational mechanics, constitutive modeling, and techniques for subject-
specific modeling have opened the door to patient-specific simulation of the relationships …

Methods to predict contact stresses in the hip can provide an improved understanding of
load distribution in the normal and pathologic joint. The objectives of this study were to …

It has previously been demonstrated that dynamic deformational loading of chondrocyte-
seeded agarose hydrogels over the course of 1 month can increase construct mechanical …

Our objectives were to determine cartilage contact stress during walking, stair climbing, and
descending stairs in a well‐defined group of normal volunteers and to assess variations in …

Chondrocytes cultured in agarose hydrogels develop a functional extracellular matrix.
Application of dynamic strain at physiologic levels to these constructs over time can increase …

Computational models may have the ability to quantify the relationship between hip
morphology, cartilage mechanics and osteoarthritis. Most models have assumed the hip …

A quantitative assessment of bone tissue stresses and strains is essential for the
understanding of failure mechanisms associated with osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, loosening …

Background Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a condition in which bone growth
irregularities subject articular cartilage to higher mechanical stresses, increase susceptibility …

The objective of this study was to investigate the normal distribution of cartilage thickness in
the major joints of the lower limb in elderly individuals. A 12.5 MHz ultrasound transducer …
