In vitro testing of the human knee provides valuable insight that contributes to further
understanding knee biomechanics. Cadaveric testing correlates well with clinical trials …

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 …

Knee articular geometry and surface morphology greatly affect knee joint mechanics. Intra‐
subject variations in bone morphology and the passive range of motion have been well …

The steady maturation of computational biomechanics is providing the musculoskeletal
health community with exciting avenues for enhancing orthopedic practice and …

Understanding the contribution of the soft-tissues to total joint constraint (TJC) is important
for predicting joint kinematics, developing surgical procedures, and increasing accuracy of …

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 …

Soft tissue balance is a measure of the relative tensions in the soft tissue restraints of the
knee. The soft tissues should be considered “balanced” when they are appropriately …

The net laxity of the knee is a product of individual ligament structures that provide constraint
for multiple degrees of freedom (DOF). Clinical laxity assessments are commonly performed …

Ankle sprains are a common injury that may need reconstruction and extensive physical
therapy. The purpose of this study was to provide a description of the biomechanics of the …

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 …
