Water content and equilibrium water partition in immature cartilage. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The water content, equilibrium water partition, and total thickness for immature bovine articular cartilage were determined and compared to previously determined values for mature tissue. The bulk equilibrium water partition and thickness were significantly greater in immature tissue as compared to mature tissue, while the bulk water content was similar. Spatial differences were noted in each physical parameter.
