Synovial Fluid Diffusion Behavior Involved in Cartilage Degeneration

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to study the synovial fluid diffusion behavior involved in articular cartilage and evaluation of some parameters, which affecting the cartilage degeneration, such as the porosity, surface permeability, fluid concentration and etc. For the analysis, it was to implement the triphasic theory into a mathematical model and a commercial finite element method to solved practical problems in cartilage mechanics. The experimental results of confined compression of articular cartilage were found that the factors affecting to fluid diffusion in cartilage were the surface permeability, the porosity of structure, the change of solute concentration and dynamic loading on articular cartilage.
