title: [Animals experiment studies on the microstructural behavior of hyaline articular cartilage after immobilization and remobilization].
abstract: Early degenerative changes of the articular cartilage in knee joints of rabbits were observed after immobilization and weight bearing. These changes were not reversible. After remobilization there was an increase in the alterations. The clinical significance of these findings is discussed.
