IntroductionIntroductionCartilage thickness and volume
◦characterize normal joints◦delineate joint degenerative disease
Compute cartilage thickness and volume from high-resolution joint geometry scans◦three distinct algorithms

Materials and methodsMaterials and methodsJoint of a human cadaveric talus
◦obtained a laser displacement sensor◦scanning of a 31-mm x 34-mm
region of interest◦over 40,000 digitized surface points
Talar joint surface ◦intact articular cartilage (Atc)◦subchondral bone surface (Atb)

Materials and methodsMaterials and methodsUse PV-Wave to compute cartilage
thickness from Atc and Atb in three distinct approaches◦a) vertical distance◦b) proximity method◦c) normal distance

Materials and methodsMaterials and methodsIn addition to quantifying variances
◦closest approximation of the true cartilage thickness utilized a cylindrical object with two specific
radii 25.52-mm on one side 27.46-mm on the other
