Cartilage
Cartilage or cartilaginous tissue is a resilient and type of connective tissue of mesodermal origin that forms an integral part within the musculoskeletal system and as a structural component in other organs.
Cartilage can be generally classified into the following main types:
hyaline car...
Article
Cricoid cartilage
The cricoid cartilage is a ring-shaped laryngeal cartilage that sits below the thyroid cartilage and above the tracheal rings, at the level of the C6 vertebra. It is the only complete cartilaginous ring of the whole airway.
Gross anatomy
It consists of a thinner anterior portion, called the ar...
Article
Articular cartilage
Articular cartilage refers to the cartilaginous connective tissue covering the bony surfaces of diarthrodial joints.
Gross anatomy
Articular cartilage is hyaline cartilage and is composed of a low density of chondrocytes surrounded by an abundant extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix ...
Article
Arytenoid cartilage
The arytenoid cartilages are paired hyaline cartilages that articulate with the sloping upper border of the lamina of the cricoid cartilage via the synovial cricoarytenoid joint. This joint allows movement of the arytenoid cartilages, which is vital in approximating, tensing and relaxing the voc...
Article
Cartilage repair
Cartilage repair and reconstruction comprises different surgical methods for the restoration of the chondral surface within different diarthrodial joints, with the goal to promote cartilage healing, alleviate patient symptoms as well as enable them to return to daily activities and sports and pr...
Article
Laryngeal cartilages
The laryngeal cartilages form the "skeleton" of the larynx. There are three unpaired (midline) and three paired cartilages:
Unpaired
thyroid cartilage
cricoid cartilage
epiglottic cartilage
Paired
arytenoid cartilage
accessory cartilages
cuneiform cartilage
corniculate cartilage
Article
Triticeal cartilage
The triticeal cartilage is a small cartilage located within the lateral aspect of the thyrohyoid membrane, that may be bilateral, unilateral or absent. It is considered a laryngeal anatomical variant.
Epidemiology
It is found in 33% of an adult cadaver series 2.
Gross anatomy
The triticeal c...
Article
Nasal cartilages
The nasal cartilages make up the skeleton of the external nose, along with the nasal bones, maxilla, frontal bone and bony nasal septum. They are formed from hyaline cartilage and responsible for maintaining the shape of the flexible part of the external nose and vestibule and consist of five na...
Article
Thyroid cartilage
The thyroid cartilage is the largest of the cartilages of the larynx, with its superior border sitting at the level of the C4 vertebra.
Gross anatomy
The thyroid cartilage consists of bilateral flattened laminae that are fused in the anterior midline to form the laryngeal prominence (Adam's ap...
Article
Costal cartilage
The costal cartilages form part of the thoracic cage and anterior chest wall. There are ten costal cartilages bilaterally, one for each of the corresponding 1st to 10th ribs, and each of the first seven ribs forms one of the seven costochondral joints.
Costal cartilages 1-7 articulate with the ...
Article
Triradiate cartilage
The triradiate cartilage is the Y- shaped epiphyseal plate that occurs at the junction where the ischium, ilium, and pubis meet in the skeletally immature skeleton.
The vertical component of the "Y" is the meeting of the ischium and pubic bone. The anterior arm is the junction of the ilium an...
Article
Cuneiform cartilage
The cuneiform cartilages are small, paired accessory laryngeal cartilages that reside in the aryepiglottic fold. They take the form of club-like nodules, visible as elevations beneath the mucosa (the cuneiform tubercle) anterosuperior to the corniculate cartilages. They do not directly articulat...
Article
Corniculate cartilage
The corniculate cartilages are small paired, elastic and accessory cartilages of the larynx that lie superior to and articulate with the superior process of the arytenoid cartilages. They are 2 of the 9 laryngeal cartilages.
History and etymology
The word 'corniculate' comes from the Latin wor...
Article
Cartilage injury (overview)
The term cartilage injury or articular cartilage injury summarizes a spectrum of different cartilage lesions that are usually used in the context of hyaline cartilage damage within diarthrodial joints.
In a narrower sense, the term cartilage injury describes types of articular injury with spari...
Article
Costal cartilage injury
Costal cartilage injuries occur in the cartilage connecting the ribs anteriorly to the sternum. They most commonly manifest as edema and fractures with the latter being the focus of this article.
Epidemiology
There is little published data (c. 2021) on costal cartilage fractures. Most reporte...
Article
Nasal septal cartilage
The nasal septal cartilage, also known as quadrangular cartilage, forms most of the anterior portion of the nasal septum, and is one of five named nasal cartilaginous components supporting the external nose.
Gross anatomy
Most of the anterior one-third of the nasal septum is formed by the sept...
Article
Cartilage interface sign
Cartilage interface sign, also referred to as double cortex sign, refers to the sonographic presence of a thin markedly hyperechoic line at the interface between the normally hypoechoic hyaline articular cartilage of the humeral head and an abnormally hypoechoic supraspinatus tendon. This arises...
Article
Double contour cartilage line
The double contour cartilage line is a sonographic sign specific for gout, which is characterized by an echogenic line on the outer surface of the joint cartilage parallel to the subchondral bone secondary to deposition of monosodium urate crystals on the surface of hyaline articular cartilage.
Article
dGEMRIC (delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage)
dGEMRIC, or delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage is a technique that can be used quantitatively to assess glycosaminoglycan content of cartilage or qualitatively to asses the overall structures of cartilage. The dGEMRIC protocol consists of a T1-mapping sequence. When the technique is ad...
