The objective of the present work is to review the existing literature on joint incongruity, cellular mechano-transduction, and computer simulations of mechano-adaptive bone remodelling, and to quantitatively assess the effect of incongruity on load transmission and subchondral mineralisation. Idealised computer models of incongruous joints and a specific anatomically based model of the humero-ulnar joint articulation were analysed with the finite element method, and the results directly compared with experimental and morphological data.

The Greek-German school dictionary developed in the second half of the 19th century by Gustav Eduard Benseler, is still an essential reference work today, thanks especially to the last extensive revision in 1931. The main content of the dictionary was based on the works of Homer, Herodotus, Aischylos, Sophokles, Euripides, Thucydides, Xenophon, Plato, Lysias and the New Testament.
