A Simulation Case Study of Knee Joint Compressive Stress during the Stance Phase in Severe Knee Osteoarthritis Using Finite Element Method

A Simulation Case Study of Knee Joint Compressive Stress during the Stance Phase in Severe Knee Osteoarthritis Using Finite Element Method

<i>Background and Objectives</i>: Medial knee osteoarthritis is known to increase the mechanical load on the medial compartment of the knee joint during walking; however, it is not visually understood how much the mechanical load increases nor where in the medial compartment of the knee...
