Finite element has been used for more than four decades to study and evaluate the
mechanical behaviour total joint replacements. In Huiskes seminal paper “Failed innovation …

In vitro and in vivo testing can provide insight into knee joint mechanics and implant
performance. However, these methods are costly and time‐consuming, which always limits …

By characterizing anatomical differences in size and shape between subjects, statistical
shape models enable population-based evaluations in biomechanics. Statistical models …

Patellofemoral (PF)-related pathologies, including joint laxity, patellar maltracking, cartilage
degradation and anterior knee pain, affect nearly 25% of the population. Researchers have …

Purpose Bone single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT is considered as
beneficial in unhappy patients with pain, stiffness or swelling after total knee arthroplasty …

Introduction. Unicompartmental arthroplasty (UKA) of the knee in patients with isolated
medial osteoarthritis yields adequate results; however, the survival rate is inferior to that of …

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful procedure for osteoarthritis. However, some
patients (19%) do have pain after surgery. A finite element model was developed based on …

Background Anatomic patellar components for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have
demonstrated favorable in vivo kinematics. A novel failure mechanism in TKA patients with …

The design of total shoulder arthroplasty implants are guided by anatomy. The objective of
this study was to develop statistical models to quantify shape and material property variation …

Purpose This study aimed to analyze the morphology of the anterior femoral condyle using a
quantitative three-dimensional reconstruction method. The morphological data were …
