Cartilage plays a central role in joint health. The characteristic pathological changes seen in OA include progressive degradation of articular

articular cartilage. For conditions of patellar fracture, the bony fragments will heal, but the cartilage

Articular hyaline cartilage is a specialized connective tissue with unique viscoelastic properties that covers

cartilage degradation.24 Estrogen receptors are found in articular cartilage, bone, ligaments

articular conformity to provide additional coronal, sagittal, and rotational stability with PCL sacrifice. VIIMidlevel constrained—Anterior lip: Anterior lip for enhanced stability with PCL sacrificed. VIIIMidlevel constrained—Posterior lip: Posterior lip for enhanced stability with PCL sacrificed. Literature suggests comparable clinical outcome scores in patients receiving

articular surfaces of the femur and tibia are visible at the knee. The joint space is maintained. Surrounding bone density looks uniform, with no visible fractures or deformities. Part B provides a side view or lateral view of the same area. The femur and tibia are seen
