Research progress in early diagnosis of articular cartilage injury / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Articular cartilage is hyaline cartilage and has weak self-healing ability.Articular cartilage injury is difficult to heal due to lack of blood supply and nerve tissue nutrition.The early pathological changes of many kinds of motor disorder diseases are accompanied by articular cartilage injury.It will inevitably cause more serious damage and accelerate joint degeneration if the articular cartilage injury cannot be treated timely.Therefore,early diagnosis of cartilage injury is key to preventing and delaying joint degeneration.This article reviews the early diagnosis of cartilage injury from three aspects of imaging examination,biomarker detection and arthroscopy so as to provide reference for the clinical treatment of early cartilage injury.
