The biomechanics of the knee and surgical possibilities of healing osteoarthritic knee joints

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
P Maquet

Abstract

Osteoarthritis of the knee is generally focused around areas of stress concentration. Osteotomy and tibial tubercle elevation can bring about functional healing. Surgical success depends upon a correct preoperative biomechanical evaluation of the affected knee and upon effective surgical reduction of the stress concentration. Careful attention to the details of biomechanical principles and orthopedic management induces healing and correction of many extremely deformed and unstable knee joints.

Biomechanics

Biomechanics examines the generation of internal forces within the body and investigates the effects and control of forces that act on or are produced on tissues. Here are the latest discoveries.
