Abstract
Impact loading causes cartilage damage and cell death. Pre-loading prior to impact loading may protect cartilage and chondrocytes. However, there is no systematic evidence and understanding of the effects of pre-load strategies on cartilage damage and chondrocyte death. This study aimed at determining the effects of the pre-load history on impact-induced chondrocyte death in an intact joint.
