The mechanism underlying non‐contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is multi‐
factorial and still an object of debate. Computational models, in combination with in vivo and …

Modeling complex knee biomechanics is a continual challenge, which has resulted in many
models of varying levels of quality, complexity, and validation. Beyond modeling healthy …

Use of knee joint finite element models for diagnostic purposes is challenging due to their
complexity. Therefore, simpler models are needed for studies where a high number of …

Background The traditional goal of the gap-balancing method in total knee arthroplasty is to
create equal and symmetric knee laxity throughout the arc of flexion. The purpose of this …

Purpose To analyze the incidence of intraoperative mid-flexion laxity using continuous
flexion-arc gap assessment, risk factors for mid-flexion laxity, and clinical results in …

Implant alignment and soft-tissue balancing are important factors in total knee arthroplasty
(TKA). The purpose of this study was to design a mechanical balancing device, which …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal joint disease, in which primarily the
articular cartilage and subchondral bone are altered. OA affects more than 250 million …

Computational modeling is a powerful tool which has been used to inform decisions made
by engineers, scientists, and clinicians for decades. Musculoskeletal modeling has emerged …

Passive laxity envelopes can provide understanding of the knee's comprehensive
constraints and range of motion as well as insights not practically obtained in vivo. This …

The analysis of the mechanical characteristics of the knee flexion movement can effectively
improve the athlete's competitiveness and provide an important theoretical basis for the …
