[Significance of the synovial pumping system on the biochemistry of the interior knee joint].

Based on theoretical studies and experimental investigations it could be proved that the mobility of the knee-joint is of great importance with regard to nutrition of its cartilage. The intraarticular metabolism is established by the fulling mechanism of the articulating joint surfaces, by the synovial flow and the changing pressure of the pumping system of the joint.

[Internal physiologic pressure of the knee joint].

The internal pressure of the knee joint was read in 50 volunteers. The pressure is dependent on position and load whereas rotation has no influence on the intraarticular pressure of the joint. Under load and flexion of 90 degrees and more the pressure readings increase considerably. Lasting pressure has a damaging effect on the cartilage of the joint.
