Dynamic viscoelastic characterisation of human osteochondral tissue: understanding the effect of the cartilage-bone interface

Abstract Background Despite it being known that subchondral bone affects the viscoelasticity of cartilage, there has been little research into the mechanical properties of osteochondral tissue as a whole system. This study aims to unearth new knowledge concerning the dynamic behaviour of human subch...
