High tibial osteotomy becomes increasingly important in the treatment of cartilage damage
or osteoarthritis of the medial compartment with concurrent varus deformity. HTO produces a …

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 …

MRI-based mathematical and computational modeling studies can contribute to a better
understanding of the mechanisms governing cartilage's mechanical performance and …

Whilst the newly established biomechanical conditions following mandibular reconstruction
using fibula free flap can be a critical determinant for achieving favorable bone union, little …

While prosthetic devices have been extensively used to treat a wide range of human
diseases and injuries, failure of these devices due to fatigue under cyclic loading has been …

Background There are significant deficiencies in the evidence base of modern-day
osteotomy which result in significant variation in practice between surgeons. The purpose of …

Background. The wedge opened during high tibial osteotomy defines the alignment
correction in different body planes and alters soft tissue insertions. Although multiple …

Background: The effect of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) on the stress distribution across the
knee joint is not completely understood. Subchondral bone density is considered to reflect …

Background Unloading knee braces represent a conservative treatment option for non-
pharmalogical management of unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee. Though there is …

Purpose Despite practised for decades, the planning of osteotomy around the knee,
commonly using the Mikulicz-Line, is only empirically based, clinical outcome inconsistent …
