The evaluation of the role of medial collateral ligament maintaining knee stability by a finite element analysis

Abstract Background A three-dimensional finite element model (FEM) of the knee joint was established to analyze the biomechanical functions of the superficial and deep medial collateral ligaments (MCLs) of knee joints and to investigate the treatment of the knee medial collateral ligament injury. Me...
