Osteochondral blocks containing the failure site were then extracted, chemically fixed, dehydrated, gold-particle coated, and sent for X-ray micro-CT imaging to obtain 3-D image reconstructions of the cartilage and underlying bone. Cartilage failure upon impact appeared to be characteristically brittle in nature. Impacted cartilage from the region not protected by the meniscus showed a relatively large cavernous disruption with microcrack propagation extending radially into the subchondral bone, while impacted cartilage from beneath the meniscus showed less dramatic surface disruption and with no underlying bone failure. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
