The diagnosis of ankle osteoarthritis (OA) is increasing as a result of advancements in non‐
invasive imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging, improved arthroscopic …

Articular cartilage is integral to the mechanical function of many joints in the body. When
injured, cartilage lacks the capacity to self-heal, and thus, therapies and replacements have …

Articular cartilage defects significantly compromise the quality of life in the global population.
Although many strategies are needed to repair articular cartilage, including microfracture …

Among mammalian soft tissues, articular cartilage is particularly interesting because it can
endure a lifetime of daily mechanical loading despite having minimal regenerative capacity …

Articular cartilage is a heterogeneous soft tissue that dissipates and distributes loads in
mammalian joints. Though robust, cartilage is susceptible to damage from loading at high …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that involves the erosion and structural weakening of
articular cartilage. OA is characterized by the degradation of collagen and proteoglycans in …

Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) involves the mechanical and biological deterioration of
articular cartilage that occurs following joint injury. PTOA is a growing problem in health care …

This work presents a stabilized formulation for phase‐field fracture of hyperelastic materials
near the limit of incompressibility. At this limit, traditional mixed displacement and pressure …

The connective tissues of the musculoskeletal system can be grouped into fibrous,
cartilaginous, and calcified tissues. While each tissue type has a distinct composition and …

Articular cartilage defects often progress to osteoarthritis, which negatively impacts quality of
life for millions of people worldwide and leads to high healthcare expenditures. Tissue …
