contents Conventional methods for analysing cartilage microstructure under mechanical loading are largely destructive. In this work, we evaluate the efficacy of using depth-resolved polarisation sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) to study the cartilage morphological response to compression. We show that depth-resolved PS-OCT reveals the microstructure of cartilage under load, and it can do so non-destructively, opening significant possibilities for enhanced clinical assessment of cartilage health by detecting deviance from normal load-bearing behaviour.
