Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common of all arthropathies, is a leading cause of disability and
has a large (and growing) worldwide socioeconomic cost. Despite its burgeoning …

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

A validation study was conducted to determine the extent to which computational ankle
contact finite element (FE) results agreed with experimentally measured tibio-talar contact …

Abstract Background and Objective Computer simulations of joint contact mechanics have
great merit to improve our current understanding of articular ankle pathology. Owed to its …

Despite the widely held belief that residual incongruities from intra‐articular fractures subject

Concerns over accelerated damage to the untreated compartment of the knee following
unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), as well as the relatively poor success rates …

Background and objective Revealing the complexity behind subject-specific ankle joint
mechanics requires simultaneous analysis of three-dimensional bony and soft-tissue …

Many intra-articular fracture patients eventually experience significant functional deficits,
