High-angle x-ray diffraction was applied to the study of four meniscal fibrocartilages and 11 articular cartilages from patients suffering from various articular disorders. In eight samples microcrystals were seen, apatite most frequently, CaHPO4 in two instances, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) in one. These results confirm the association of various crystals in a single joint, and favour their heterogenous partition on collagen fibres.

采用高角度X射线衍射技术对4例半月板纤维软骨和11例来自患有各种关节疾病患者的关节软骨进行了研究。在8个样本中观察到了微晶，最常见的是磷灰石，有2例为磷酸氢钙，1例为二水焦磷酸钙（CPPD）。这些结果证实了单个关节中存在多种晶体，并支持它们在胶原纤维上的异质分布。
