关节软骨力学特性间接预测方法的研究进展

Progress of Indirect Estimation Methods for Mechanical Property of Articular Cartilage

关节软骨具有非常优异的力学特性,是影响人体运动、载荷传递的关键因素之一。随着人们参与体育运动的增多以及老龄化程度的加剧,出现关节软骨损伤及其相关病症的人数显著增多。实现关节软骨力学特性的有效表征,是对关节软骨进行损伤评估和功能评价的核心环节。总结当前国内外关于关节软骨力学特性间接测量方法的研究进展,并对关节软骨力学特性表征技术的未来发展方向进行展望。

With extraordinary mechanical properties,articular cartilage is one of the most critical factors in human movement and load transmission. With the increase of sports participation and population aging,more and more patients suffer from cartilage injury and related diseases. Accurate acquisition of mechanical properties for articular cartilage is the key process of cartilage injury and functional evaluation. In this paper,the research progress of indirect estimation for mechanical properties of articular cartilage was summarized. Furthermore,some new perspectives were prospected on mechanical characterization of articular cartilage.
