CT is one of the most widely used modalities for musculoskeletal imaging. Recent
advancements in the field include the introduction of four-dimensional CT, which captures a …

Although musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a dominant role in
characterizing abnormalities, novel computed tomography (CT) techniques have found an …

The in vivo measurement of articular cartilage deformation is essential to understand how
mechanical forces distribute throughout the healthy tissue and change over time in the …

Articular cartilage is a highly specialised connective tissue of diarthrodial joints which
provides a smooth, lubricated surface for joint articulation and plays a crucial role in the …

The meniscus plays a critical biomechanical role in the knee, providing load support, joint
stability, and congruity. Importantly, growing evidence indicates that the mechanobiologic …

We present a novel algorithm combined with computational modeling to simulate the
development of knee osteoarthritis. The degeneration algorithm was based on excessive …

The knee joint is a complex mechanical system, and computational modelling can provide
vital information for the prediction of disease progression and of the potential for therapeutic …

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) constitutes one of the most important stabilizing tissues
of the knee joint whose rapture is very prevalent. ACL reconstruction (ACLR) from a graft is a …

Numerical simulations are a valuable tool in the field of tissue engineering for cartilage
repair and can help to understand which mechanical properties affect the behavior of …

Focal cartilage lesions can proceed to severe osteoarthritis or remain unaltered even for
years. A method to identify high risk defects would be of utmost importance to guide clinical …
