Popis: | After the intraarticular injection of isoosmolaric buffer solutions with pH values of 4.0 and 10.0 or 7.3 (control side) into the knee joints of rabbits the appearance of a fibrillated network on a plane parallel to the surface and tears in the articular cartilage are seen with the aid of scanning electron microscopy. The results are interpreted as a damage of the superficial layer of the articular cartilage. In a long-term follow up only the growing rabbits are able to repair these lesions, the adult animals are not capable to do it. |
