Abstract:Objective: To find contact stress distributions of femoral condyle cartilage under defect and repaired status.
Methods: 6 mini-pigs were selected to divide into intact group, defect group and repair group. 4 pigs in defect group were performed 4 types of cartilage defect, including circle, triangle, square and trapezoid. Defect samples were repaired with two kinds of artificial cartilages. Contact stress distributions of joint contact surfaces were measured and analyzed using thin-film pressure sensor under st… Show more
