Abstract
Dynamic finite element analysis is used to elucidate the manner in which juxtaarticular stress distributions depend on the transitional mechanical properties of the calcified cartilage layer. A finite element model is used to study how these stresses change in response to the thinning of the articular cartilage layer associated with tidemark advancement. The finite element results indicate that shear stress levels within the deepest layer of articular cartilage are increased when tidemark advancement with concomitant cartilage-thinning and calcified cartilage/subchondraI plate thickening is modeled. The cartilage-thinning associated with tidemark advancement, observed both clinically and experimentally, may be an explanation for what has previously been considered wear-related thinning.
