  • Title: [Scanning electron microscopic study of hyalin joint cartilage].
    Author: Stofft E, Graf J.
    Journal: Acta Anat (Basel); 1983; 116(2):114-25. PubMed ID: 6192672.
    Abstract:
    Guinea pigs (pirbright white) were subjected to fixed mechanical stress in an endless-belt experiment. Shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee joints were taken and the articular cartilage was prepared for examination with the scanning electron microscope. Ultrastructural findings of cartilage surfaces were described, using different techniques for preparation and fixation. Mechanically stressed animals showed defects in their superficial 'chondrosynovial membrane' with visible fibre networks.
