Influence of collagen fibre orientation on the frictional properties of articular cartilage

Abstract Articular cartilage has a unique collagen fibre network structure that exhibits both anisotropy and depth dependency. Collagen fibre orientation in a cross‐section parallel to the articular cartilage surface may affect the lubrication properties of articular cartilage. The effect of collage...
