Certain types of joint injuries, common in athletes, are known to have a high association with
the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Post‐traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is especially …

Background Musculoskeletal soft tissues, such as articular cartilage, ligaments, knee
meniscus and intervertebral disk, have a complex structure, which provides elasticity and …

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 …

Computational mechanics has been advanced in every area of orthopedic biomechanics.
The objective of this paper is to provide a general review of the computational models used …

In this paper we present a fully three-dimensional finite strain anisotropic visco-hyperelastic
model for ligaments and tendons. The structural model is formulated within the framework of …

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 …

Advances in computational mechanics, constitutive modeling, and techniques for subject-
specific modeling have opened the door to patient-specific simulation of the relationships …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture leads to abnormal loading of the knee joint and
increases the risk of osteoarthritis. It is unclear how different ACL reconstruction techniques …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a very common knee joint injury. Torn ACLs are
currently reconstructed using tendon autografts. However, half of the patients develop …

BACKGROUND: A high tension in anterior cruciate ligament grafts affects both graft and
knee functional performance. Clinical observations suggest that impingement of the graft …
