Abstract

The utility of nonsurgical, mechanical compression-based joint injury models to study osteoarthritis pathogenesis and treatments is increasing. Joint injury may be induced via cyclic compression loading or acute overloading to induce anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Models utilizing mechanical testing systems are highly repeatable, require little expertise, and result in a predictable onset of osteoarthritis-like pathology on a rapidly progressing timeline. In this chapter, we describe the procedures and equipment needed to perform mechanical compression-induced initiation of osteoarthritis in mice and rats.
