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 …

Finite element (FE) models have been widely used to investigate knee joint biomechanics.
Most of these models have been developed to study adult knees, neglecting pediatric …

Virtual representations of the knee joint can provide clinicians, scientists, and engineers the
tools to explore mechanical functions of the knee and its tissue structures in health and …

There is a growing interest in the use of virtual representations of the knee for
musculoskeletal research and clinical decision making, and to generate digital evidence for …

Artificial meniscal implants may replace severely injured meniscus and restore the normal
functionality of the knee joint. Implant material stiffness and shape influence the longevity of …

Osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative joint disease, is the most common chronic condition of
the joints, which cannot be prevented effectively. Computational modeling of joint …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the meniscus is a gel-like water solution of proteoglycans
embedding bundles of collagen fibers mainly oriented circumferentially. Collagen fibers …

Purpose To investigate differences in joint space width (JSW) and meniscal extrusion (ME)
between non-weight bearing (NWB) and weight bearing (WB) examinations of knee joints …

Recent explorations of knee biomechanics have benefited from computational modeling,
