Ultrasound elastography to determine the layered mechanical properties of articular cartilage and the importance of such structural characteristics under load
Articular cartilage is an important load bearing surface in joints. Prone to damage and with limited self-repair ability, it is of interest to tissue engineers. Tissue implant design requires full mechanical characterisation of healthy native tissue. A layered organisation of reinforcing collagen fi...
