Analysis of hydration and subchondral bone density on the viscoelastic properties of bovine articular cartilage

Abstract Background Articular cartilage is known to be a viscoelastic material, however little research has explored the impact of cartilage water content and bone density on its viscoelasticity. This study aimed to isolate subchondral bone density and hydration of articular cartilage and analyse th...
