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 …

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

The human foot is a complex structure that plays an important role in our capacity for upright
locomotion. Comparisons of our feet with those of our closest extinct and extant relatives …

Our knowledge of vertebrate functional evolution depends on inferences about joint function
in extinct taxa. Without rigorous criteria for evaluating joint articulation, however, such …

Statistical shape modeling (SSM) was used to quantify 3D variation and morphologic
differences between femurs with and without cam femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). 3D …

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

Articular geometry in the knee varies widely among people which has implications for risk of
injury and pathology. The goals of this work were to develop a framework to systematically …

Congruent, low-friction relative movement between the articulating elements of a synovial
joint is an essential pre-requisite for sustained, efficient, function. Where disorders of joint …

Articular cartilage experiences significant mechanical loads during daily activities. Healthy
cartilage provides the capacity for load bearing and regulates the mechanobiological …

Purpose Retinacular restraints have a critical role in patellar tracking, limiting the movement
of the patella in the trochlear groove. The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is probably …
