Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of the superficial tissue layer for the indentation stiffness of articular cartilage.

TL;DR: Quantitative polarized light microscopy measurements from canine cartilage were utilized to characterize thickness and structure of the superficial, collageneous tissue layer as well as to reveal its relation to experimental indentation measurements, and FE results indicated effective stiffening of articular cartilage under indentation due to high transverse modulus of the deep tissue layer.

TL;DR: The results suggest that with large indenters, knowledge of the cartilage thickness improves the reliability of the indentation measurements, especially in pathological situations wherecartilage thickness may be significantly lower than normal.
