Knee kinematics is an analysis of motion pattern that is utilized to assess a comparative,
biomechanical performance of healthy nonimplanted knees, injured nonimplanted knees …

Empirical joint contact mechanics measurement (EJCM; eg contact area or force, surface
velocities) enables critical investigations of the relationship between changing joint …

We combined mobile biplane X‐ray imaging and magnetic resonance imaging to measure
the regions of articular cartilage contact and cartilage thickness at the tibiofemoral and …

Background: Although knees that have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
(ACLR) often exhibit normal laxity on clinical examination, abnormal kinematic patterns have …

Purpose Lateral extra‐articular tenodesis (LET) may confer improved rotational stability after
anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Little is known about how LET affects in …

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury increases the risk of meniscus and
articular cartilage damage, but the causes are not well understood. Previous in vitro studies …

Objective Changes in cartilage contact area and/or contact location after knee injury can
initiate and exacerbate cartilage degeneration. Typically, the contralateral knee is used as a …

Background: Some studies have suggested that altered tibiofemoral cartilage contact
behavior (arthrokinematics) may contribute to long-term cartilage degeneration, potentially …

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) has been shown to alter
kinematics, which may influence dynamic tibiofemoral joint congruency (a measure of how …

Purpose To analyze the in vivo tibiofemoral cartilage contact patterns in knees undergoing
double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (DB-ACLR) with or without …
