Articular Cartilage Changes in Maturing Athletes
CONTEXT Articular cartilage has a unique functional architecture capable of providing a lifetime of pain-free joint motion. This tissue, however, undergoes substantial age-related physiologic, mechanical, biochemical, and functional changes that reduce its ability to overcome the effects of mechanical stress and injury. Many factors affect joint function in the maturing athlete-from chondrocyte...
متن کاملArticular Cartilage Injury in Athletes
Articular cartilage lesions in the athletic population are observed with increasing frequency and, due to limited intrinsic healing capacity, can lead to progressive pain and functional limitation over time. If left untreated, isolated cartilage lesions can lead to progressive chondropenia or global cartilage loss over time. A chondropenia curve is described to help predict the outcome of carti...
متن کاملArticular cartilage and changes in Arthritis: Collagen of articular cartilage
The extracellular framework and two-thirds of the dry mass of adult articular cartilage are polymeric collagen. Type II collagen is the principal molecular component in mammals, but collagens III, VI, IX, X, XI, XII and XIV all contribute to the mature matrix. In developing cartilage, the core fibrillar network is a cross-linked copolymer of collagens II, IX and XI. The functions of collagens I...
متن کاملAge Changes in Articular Cartilage of Rabbits.
(ii) The Upper Middle Zone.-This contains rounded cells with branching irregular processes, often arranged in pairs. In addition to cytomembranes and mitochondria, many cells exhibit pinocytotic vesicles and large Golgi vacuoles, some of which open at the cell surface. The matrix immediately around each cell or between pairs contains fine fibres; the interfibrillar matrix between pairs often sh...
متن کاملArticular cartilage changes in chondromalacia patellae.
Full thickness samples of articular cartilage were removed from areas of chondromalacia on the medial and "odd" facets of the patellae of 21 adults and examined by histology, autoradiography and electron microscopy. Surface fibrillation, loss of superficial matrix staining and reduced 35SO4 labelling was seen, with little change in the deep zone. Ten cases showed "fibrous metaplasia" of the sup...
