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

In an effort to prevent degeneration of articular cartilage associated with meniscectomies,
both meniscal allografts and synthetic replacements are subjects of current interest and …

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of progressive labral and bone loss on
the articular contact area and pressures across the glenohumeral joint under compressive …

Computational wear prediction is an attractive concept for evaluating new total knee
replacement designs prior to physical testing and implementation. An important hurdle to …

We assessed the repeatability and accuracy of a relatively new, resistance-based sensor
(Tekscan 6900) for measuring lumbar spine facet loads, pressures, and contact areas in …

Study Design. Facet contact forces in the lumbar spine were measured during flexibility tests
using thin film electroresistive sensors in intact cadaveric spine specimens and in injured …

Background The knee is one of the most frequently injured joints, including 80 000 anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) tears in the United States each year. Bone bruises are seen in over …

When studying joint degeneration leading to osteoarthritis (OA), it seems imperative that
local joint tissue loading is known during normal everyday movement and that the …

Objective—To evaluate the effects of tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) on
femorotibial contact mechanics and 3‐dimensional (3D) kinematics in cranial cruciate …

Understanding the biomechanical effect of various factors on knee behavior after anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) injury or reconstruction is instrumental for the development of an …
