Articular cartilage and meniscus provides stability and lubrication during knee joint motion (Lai&Levenston, 2010). The knee meniscus is viscoelastic and displays different behaviour when dehydrated compared to hydrated (Nicolle&Palierne, 2010).

Abstract

Articular cartilage and meniscus provides stability and lubrication during knee joint motion (Lai&Levenston, 2010). The knee meniscus is viscoelastic and displays different behaviour when dehydrated compared to hydrated (Nicolle&Palierne, 2010). Thus, to fully understand meniscus mechanics, in this work dynamic mechanical tests at different degree of swelling for immersion in PBS were performed.
