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 …

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 …

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 …

Articular geometry in the knee varies widely among people which has implications for risk of
injury and pathology. The goals of this work were to develop a framework to systematically …

Although it is easier to generate finite element discretizations with tetrahedral elements,
trilinear hexahedral (HEX8) elements are more often used in simulations of articular contact …

Active lifestyles increase the risk of meniscal injury. A permanent meniscus implant of
polycarbonate urethane (PCU) is a promising treatment to postpone/prevent total knee …

Finite element studies of the tibiofemoral joint have increased use in research, with attention
often placed on the material models. Few studies assess the effect of meniscus modelling …

Background: Injury or loss of the meniscus generally leads to degenerative osteoarthritic
changes in the knee joint. However, the treatment options for symptomatic patients with total …

Meniscus injuries represent one of the most-common intra-articular knee injuries. The
current treatment options include meniscectomy and allograft transplantation, both with poor …
