Abstract | Osteoarthritis is a debilitating chronic joint disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Since palliative and surgical treatments cannot completely regenerate hyaline cartilage within the articulating joint, osteochondral (OC) tissue engineering has been explored to heal OC defects. Utilizing computational simulations and three-dimensional (3D) printing, we aimed to build rationale around fabricating OC scaffolds with enhanced biomechanics. First, computational simulations revealed that interfacial fibrils within a bilayer alter OC scaffold deformation patterns by redirecting load-induced stresses toward the top of the cartilage layer. Principal component analysis revealed that scaffolds with 800 μm long fibrils (scaffolds 8A-8H) possessed optimal biomechanical properties to withstand compression and shear forces. While compression testing indicated that OC scaffolds with 800 μm fibrils did not have greater compressive moduli than other scaffolds, interfacial shear tests indicated that scaffold 8H possessed the greatest shear strength. Lastly, failure analysis demonstrated that yielding or buckling models describe interfacial fibril failure depending on fibril slenderness |
