Computer models of the musculoskeletal system are broadly used to study the mechanisms
of musculoskeletal disorders and to simulate surgical treatments. Musculoskeletal models …

This review presents objective data, as far as possible, about the current understanding of
the biomechanics of the patellofemoral joint as it pertains to the management of …

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that patella alta leads to a less
