Since the early years of orthopaedics, it is a well-known fact that anatomy follows function.
During the evolution of mankind, the knee has been optimally adapted to the forces and …

Background Musculoskeletal soft tissues, such as articular cartilage, ligaments, knee
meniscus and intervertebral disk, have a complex structure, which provides elasticity and …

Background: Tears of the posterior root of the medial meniscus are becoming increasingly
recognized. They can cause rapidly progressive arthritis, yet their biomechanical effects are …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to analyse the resultant stress induced by joint-line
obliquity after HTO for varus knee deformity using a three-dimensional (3D) finite element …

Computational mechanics has been advanced in every area of orthopedic biomechanics.
The objective of this paper is to provide a general review of the computational models used …

We studied whether contact stress estimates from knee magnetic resonance images (MRI)
predict the development of incident symptomatic tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) 15 months …

Background The reconstructed posterior tibial slope (PTS) plays a significant role in
restoring knee kinematics in cruciate-retaining-total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A few studies …

Objectives To investigate the association between meniscal pathology and incident or
enlarging bone marrow lesions (BML) in knee osteoarthritis. Methods The authors studied …

Meniscal tears are common injuries, and while partial meniscectomy is a frequent treatment
option, general meniscus loss is a risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis. The goal …

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is an effective surgical technique for pain relief
and functional restoration in patients with localized osteoarthritis of the knee joint. However …
