Background There has been no study examining lateral tibiofemoral (TF) osteoarthritis (OA)
and objective decision-making factors affecting when patients decide to have total knee …

Creep and relaxation of knee cartilage and meniscus have been extensively studied at the
tissue level with constitutive laws well established. At the joint level, however, both …

Biomechanics of biological fibrous tissues as the meniscus are strongly influenced by past
histories of strains involving the so‐called material hereditariness. In this paper, a three …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are often caused by high impact loadings during
competitive sports but may also happen during regular daily activities due to tissue …

Creep deformation in cartilage can be observed under physiological loads in daily activities
such as standing, single-leg lunge, the stance phase of gait. If not fully recovered in time, it …

Several changes occur in both the cartilage's material properties and anatomical structure
as osteoarthritis progresses. Unlike most numerical studies that solely consider individual …

Patient-specific finite element (FE) models of human knee joint have been extensively
developed to understand the contact mechanics of the joint. For simplicity, the tissues are …

Cartilage numeric models play a vital role in advancing our understanding of cartilage
mechanics, disease progression, and the development of clinical interventions. The aim of …

Subject-specific or patient-specific knee finite element modeling is time-consuming and
technically challenging due to complex joint topology and multiple mechanical contacts …
