Osteoarthritis (OA) is a principal cause of aches and disability worldwide. It is characterized
by the inflammation of the bone leading to degeneration and loss of cartilage function …

Objective To review recent biomechanics literature focused on the interactions between
biomechanics and articular cartilage health, particularly focused on macro-scale and human …

Osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative joint disease, is the most common chronic condition of
the joints, which cannot be prevented effectively. Computational modeling of joint …

Cracks in articular cartilage compromise tissue integrity and mechanical properties and lead
to chondral lesions if untreated. An understanding of the mechanics of cracked cartilage may …

Background Accurate and precise methods to predict growth remain lacking. Diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI) depicts the columnar structure of the physis and metaphyseal …

Objective. To provide orientation-independent MR parameters potentially sensitive to
articular cartilage degeneration by measuring isotropic and anisotropic components of T 2 …

Purpose To evaluate whole knee joint tractography, including articular cartilage, ligaments,
meniscus, and growth plate using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) at microscopic resolution …

Cartilage defects are a known risk factor for osteoarthritis. Estimation of structural changes in
these defects could help us to identify high risk defects and thus to identify patients that are …

Injurious mechanical loading of articular cartilage and associated lesions compromise the
mechanical and structural integrity of joints and contribute to the onset and progression of …

Objective To validate a radial imaging spin-echo diffusion tensor (RAISED) sequence for
high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of articular cartilage at 3 T. Methods The …
