Physiological loading of articulating joints is necessary for normal cartilage function. However, conditions of excessive overloading or trauma can cause cartilage injury resulting in matrix damage and cell death. The objective of this study was to evaluate chondrocyte viability within mechanically compressed articular cartilage removed from immature and mature bovine knees. Twenty-three mature and 68 immature cartilage specimens were subjected to static uniaxial confined-creep compressions of…

Effect of intermittent cyclic preloads on the response of articular cartilage explants to an excessive level of unconfined compression
TLDR
Low intensity, intermittent cyclic loading was applied to chondral explants prior to an acute unconfined compression on the tissue, showing cyclic preloading increased the proteoglycan content and mechanically stiffened the explants, making them more resistant to matrix damage and cell death under 25 MPa of unconfining compression up to 14 days.

Effects of cartilage impact with and without fracture on chondrocyte viability and the release of inflammatory markers
TLDR
The mechanism of trauma determines the type of chondrocyte death and the potential for post‐injury inflammation, as indicated by a blunt impact model based on a cartilage explant model.

Influence of stress magnitude on water loss and chondrocyte viability in impacted articular cartilage.
TLDR
It is found that the volumetric (axial) strain was more than twice the amount of water loss at the highest peak stress and specimens impacted such that the interstitial water was forced through the deep zone (DZ) had less water loss, a higher DIM, and no cell death.
Cartilage viability after repetitive loading: a preliminary report.
TLDR
The excessive, repetitive loading conditions imposed are not physiological, and demonstrate the deleterious effects of mechanical overload resulting in morphological and cellular damage similar to that seen in degenerative joint disease.

TLDR
The delineation of the depth‐dependent modulus provides a basis for detailed study of the relationship between the composition, structure, and function of cartilage in such processes as aging, repair, and degeneration.

Functional anatomy of articular cartilage under compressive loading Quantitative aspects of global, local and zonal reactions of the collagenous network with respect to the surface integrity.
TLDR
The collagenous architecture is a dynamic property of the articular cartilage adapting to its respective loading situation and seems to impair distribution of a locally applied compressive load sideways and leads to a reduced cartilage volume included in the process of load transmission.

TLDR
A technique for measuring cartilage compressive strength has potential for investigating the causes of cartilage failure in vivo, and compressive stiffness was a significant predictor of strength, but only if it was measured at high levels of stress.

The extent and distribution of cell death and matrix damage in impacted chondral explants varies with the presence of underlying bone.
TLDR
It is indicated that the presence of underlying bone significantly limited the degree of matrix damage and cell death, and also affected the distribution of dead cells through the explant thickness, and may have relevance to the applicability of experimental data from chondral explants to the in situ condition.
