1) Discuss the structural anatomy of a. articular cartilage with emphasis on its collagen framework and b. the trabecular architecture in the subchondral bone. 2) Emphasize the manner in which the collagen and trabeculae respond to compressive, shear, and tensile forces applied to the joint surface and the resultant injuries as they are displayed in MR images. 3) Emphasize the anatomy and biomechanical implications of the osteochondral unit through novel MRI applications. 4) Discuss structure and biomechanics of bone tissue with regard to the pathogenesis of fatigue and insufficiency forms of stress injury. 5) Use case-based teaching methods to illustrate the imaging spectrum of traumatic and stress-related chondral, osteochondral, and subchondral injuries.
