It has been shown that the “smart surface” of cartilage is highly hydrophilic when wet and hydrophobic when air-dry. The minimum surface energy of the bilayer was found to spread over a wide range of pH (6.5 to 9.5). The decreased number of bilayers changed the wettability and lowered the PL lubricant properties. In conclusion, a cartilage smart material can significantly react to changes pH and moisture.

There is exogenous theory: early rupture of the amnion leads to the formation of fibrous bridges, which are responsible of the strangulation; And endogenous theory favours a vascular origin, in which case the bridges have no causal role [1].
