Abstract:Objective: To investigate growth plate (GP) dynamics in surgical and loading murine models of osteoarthritis (OA), to understand whether abnormalities in these dynamics predict those at risk of OA.
Methods: 8-week-old C57BL/6 male mice underwent destabilization of medial meniscus (DMM) (n=8) surgery in right knee joints. Contralateral left knee joints had no intervention (controls). In 16-week-old C57BL/6 male mice (n=4), OA was induced using non-invasive mechanical loading of right knee joints with peak force… Show more
