1. In a Cartilaginous joint, the bones are united by fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage.

2. Hyaline cartilage, such as that found in the nose, microscopically consists of Chondrocytes

3. ‘Microscopic examination revealed nodules of hyaline cartilage with Chondrocytes arranged in a clustering pattern.’

4. Amianthoid (Asbestoid) change is one of several age-associated regressive changes seen in hyaline cartilage

5. Primary Cartilaginous joint These Cartilaginous joints are composed entirely of hyaline cartilage and are known as synchondroses.

6. Bronchioles are the branches of the tracheobronchial tree that by definition, are lacking in submucosal hyaline cartilage

7. At Cartilaginous joints, bones are united by hyaline cartilage to form a synchondrosis or by fibrocartilage to form a symphysis

8. Cartilaginous joints are a type of joint where the bones are entirely joined by cartilage, either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage

9. Bronchioles are defined by their lack of hyaline cartilage, instead relying on the tension from surrounding lung tissue for dilatory support.

10. The Femoral Condyle Allograft has been used for resurfacing cartilage defects with mature hyaline cartilage for several decades, with very high success rates

11. Figure 9.3.1 – Cartiliginous Joints: At Cartilaginous joints, bones are united by hyaline cartilage to form a synchondrosis or by fibrocartilage to form a symphysis

12. Articular cartilage is found only in diarthroidal joints (synovial joints), and is comprised of hyaline cartilage – a pArticularly smooth type of cartilage which allows for easy articulation, increased weight distribution, and shock absorption.

13. The disposable donor and recipient cutting tube sets of the Osteochondral Autograft Transfer System (OATS) facilitate harvesting of various diameter osteochondral/hyaline cartilage cylinders from a donor site superior and lateral to the notch or above the sulcus terminalis.
