I ntroduction Current lack in monitoring AC degeneration with accuracy and sensitivity, mostly at an early stage of degeneration where treatments may be useful. Many research groups have focused on techniques to evaluate articular cartilage: Quantitative MRI
There is still an enduring demand in Orthopaedics for an objective and reliable clinically applicable technique to evaluate articular cartilage tissue health (Spahn et al., 2011).
I ntroduction Our research group has developed the electromechanical probe Arthro-BST Streaming potentials
Electromechanical properties of AC electric fields produced by the cartilage under load
In vitro studies showed that streaming potentials reflect the structure/function and composition of cartilage and are sensitive to degradation. (Frank, 1987) (Legare, 2002) (Garon, 2002)

Streaming potentials
I ntroduction Streaming potentials are recorded by the Arthro-BST by each microelectrode when the indenter is manually compressed against the articular cartilage surface. The quantitative parameter (QP) corresponds to the number of microelectrodes in contact with the cartilage (contact area) when the sum of their streaming potentials reaches 100 mV. Contact Area on Spherical Tip

High QP = Weak electromechanical properties

Low QP = Strong electromechanical properties
I ntroduction A previous study on human distal femurs (Sim et al., 2014) showed that the electromechanical QP correlated strongly: • with the Mankin score • with unconfined compression parameters (fibril modulus, matrix modulus, permeability) While weaker correlations were observed with the biochemical composition (GAG per wet weight) and water content.
(Sim et al., 2014)
I ntroduction The purpose of this study was to investigate if electromechanical properties of human tibial plateau correlate strongly with histological scores and with mechanical properties as in human distal femurs.
M ethods Samples Six pairs of tibial plateau from human donors (5 males and 1 female, average age 48 years) were provided by RTI Surgical (FL, USA).
