Basic Science Flashcards
Changes associated with aging cartilage
Less chondrocytes, large chondrocytes less water less proteoglycan less chondroitin sulphate more keratin sulphate increased elasticity
Changes associated with OA in cartilage
Increased water increased collagen, becomes disorganzied increased proteoglycan turnover, decreased amount decreased elasticity increased lytic enzymes
Types of lubrication: elastohydrodynamic
deformation of cartilage with thin lining
principle mode of lubrication
types of lubrication: Boundry
nondeformable surface with only partial separation
types of lubrication: Boosted
lubrication pools
higher coefficient of friction
hydrodynamic lubrication
fluid separation
Weeping
fluids shifts toward load baring surfaces
