To determine the spatial arrangement of collagen fibrils in articular cartilage of the human mandibular condyle, ten healthy condyles obtained at necropsy were examined by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Observations using light microscopy showed the existence of four different zones. The organization and alignment of the collagen fibrils were different in every zone and varied from layers to bundles of fibrils running parallel, obliquely, or radially to the articular surface. Observations using scanning electron microscopy revealed a thin, surface layer of disorganized small fibrils with a cotton-wool appearance and a well-organized architecture of collagen fibrils in every zone. It was concluded that the organization of collagen fibrils in articular cartilage shows a three-dimensional network with a special system in every zone.
