Functional knee apparatus for the evaluation of ligamentous tensions on contact loads
The Knee(2022)
Abstract
The proposed apparatus can prove to be a valuable tool in the continued exploration of currently undocumented effects (e.g. surgical alteration) in soft tissue balancing. In addition to quantifying the relationship between ligamentous tensions and joint contact loads, soft tissue loading conditions where bicondylar contact was lost (i.e. known sign of kinematic instability) were identified. As a corollary, this system may be able to provide insights on soft tissue balancing standards predictive of patient outcomes.
