Subject-specific finite element modeling of the knee joint to study osteoarthritis development and progression

Abstract Primary hallmark of osteoarthritis (OA) is the progressive degeneration of articular cartilage. An accurate estimation of cartilage mechanics is important when analyzing the subject-specific function of the knee joint and risks for the onset and development of OA due to cartilage damage. F...
