3D finite element model of meniscectomy: changes in joint contact behavior

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering
Barbara Zielinska, Tammy L Haut Donahue

Abstract

The goal of this study is to quantify changes in knee joint contact behavior following varying degrees of the medial partial meniscectomy. A previously validated 3D finite element model was used to simulate 11 different meniscectomies. The accompanying changes in the contact pressure on the superior surface of the menisci and tibial plateau were quantified as was the axial strain in the menisci and articular cartilage. The percentage of medial meniscus removed was linearly correlated with maximum contact pressure, mean contact pressure, and contact area. The lateral hemi-joint was minimally affected by the simulated medial meniscectomies. The location of maximum strain and location of maximum contact pressure did not change with varying degrees of partial medial meniscectomy. When 60% of the medial meniscus was removed, contact pressures increased 65% on the remaining medial meniscus and 55% on the medial tibial plateau. These data will be helpful for assessing potential complications with the surgical treatment of meniscal tears. Additionally, these data provide insight into the role of mechanical loading in the etiology of post-meniscectomy osteoarthritis.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
