Abstract:
Quantifying surface damage on articular cartilage after exposure of the tissue to extreme or prolonged mechanical stress is not only relevant for evaluating clinically relevant alterations, e.g. when the physiological lubrication mechanisms fail, but also useful for assessing the suitability of artificial cartilage replacement materials, implants or synovia-mimetic lubricants. Here, we establish a systematic quantification method for cartilage wear formation which is based on optical profilometr...     »
