The Influence of Articular Cartilage Thickness Reduction on Meniscus Biomechanics.

Evaluation of the biomechanical interaction between meniscus and cartilage in medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.The finite element method was used to simulate knee joint contact mechanics. Three knee models were created on the basis of knee geometry from the Open Knee project. We reduced the th...
