Abstract
Articular cartilage collagenase activity was determined for 28 sections obtained from twelve femoral heads. For each one square centimeter area, a section was graded by a histologic-histochemical grading system for the severity of the arthritis. Collagenase activity was found primarily in those areas of moderately severe disease, but not in mild or end stage arthritis.Entities:
