The Mechanical Role of the Surface of Articular Cartilage

Articular cartilage has remarkable biomechanical properties that permit transmitting loads, attenuating dynamic stresses and almost frictionless movements without causing joint pain [1]. Its surface stands for various compressive, shearing and wearing stresses. Disruption of the surface occurs durin...
