Background Meniscectomy is likely to result in an increase of joint loading on articular
cartilage and initiates cartilage damages. However, the induced alterations in knee contact …

We investigated the effects of isolated meniscectomy on tibiofemoral skeletal kinematics and
cartilage contact arthrokinematics in vivo. We recruited nine patients who had undergone …

Objective To quantify the changes in regional dynamic loading patterns on tibial articular
cartilage during simulated walking following medial meniscectomy and meniscal …

Radiographic measurements have established a link between meniscus extrusion and
meniscus degeneration as well as with knee osteoarthritis. The presented work combines …

Detailed knowledge of the in vivo loading and kinematics in the knee joint is essential to
understand its normal functions and the aetiology of osteoarthritis. Computer models provide …

Meniscal implants have been developed in an attempt to provide pain relief and prevent
pathological degeneration of articular cartilage. However, as yet there has been no …

Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are commonly combined with meniscal tears. This study
was performed to analyze the kinematics and kinetics of knees with anterior cruciate …

Loss of meniscal function due to injury or partial meniscectomy is common and represents a
significant risk factor for premature osteoarthritis. The menisci can influence the transverse …

Knee joint is the largest and the most complicated joint in the body. It is subjected to a very
high load during sports and some occupational activities. Therefore complications of the …

Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and menisci commonly lead to early onset
osteoarthritis. Treatments that can restore normative cartilage loading patterns may mitigate …
