Abstract
Articular cartilage is a type of tissue vital in the protection of the ends of diarthrodial joints, distributing loads evenly to the subchondral bone to prevent damage. Cartilage damage and diseases like osteoarthritis alter the mechanical response of cartilage, reducing its effectiveness and changing the synthesis behaviour of chondrocytes. For this reason it is vital to understand the stresses and strains that present themself in cartilage during loading conditions. Due to the complexity of articular cartilage it is almost impossible to do this analytically, requiring the need of computational models. Many types of models exist, having different functions and expressing different aspects of the structure and composition. They can range from basic linear and isotropic models to complex poroviscoelastic models that are reinforced with fibrils. This review serves as an overview of the different models that currently exist, highlighting their limitations and applications, and explaining when a model should be used.
