Early Articular Changes?

Gretchen Reynolds reviews work by Michal Szczodry et al. in her New York Times Well article. She unpacks the progressive damage that may be caused by even low force articular cartilage trauma. These ideas support the physical stress theory proposed by Michael Mueller et al., which suggests that tissue is damaged without discrimination by either low force trauma applied over a large duration of time or by high force trauma applied over a small duration. The subsequent reaction to these traumas is governed in part by the intrinsic properties native to each tissue. To learn more, follow this thread.
