There is a lack of fundamental information on the knee biomechanics in deep flexion beyond
90. In this study, mechanical loads during activities requiring deep flexion were quantified …

The aim of the study was to estimate the tibiofemoral joint force in deep flexion to consider
how the mechanical load affects the knee. We hypothesize that the joint force should not …

Background In some short malunion cases, midshaft clavicular fractures are reported to result
in unsatisfactory clinical outcomes. Shortening deformity of the clavicle could change the …

Purpose Knee adduction moment (KAM) has been recognized as a good clinical surrogate
for medial tibiofemoral joint loading and is associated with implant durability after total knee …

PURPOSE: The ulnar-shortening procedure has been adopted widely to reduce pressure
between the ulna and ulnar carpus in ulnocarpal abutment syndrome. The hammock-like …

Varus thrust is an abnormal lateral knee motion frequently seen in patients with medial knee
osteoarthritis (OA) during gait. It is a worsening of the alignment in the stance phase of the …

Objectives Multiple human systems are greatly affected by gravity, and many disease symptoms
are altered by posture. However, the overall anatomical structure and pathophysiology …

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of knee flexion contracture on
the knee mechanics both in affected and contralateral limbs during gait. Ten healthy old …

Knee flexion contracture influences the physiological movements in lower extremities and
may cause the kinematic changes of the trunk. Our purpose was to investigate static and …

PURPOSE: The ulnar-shortening procedure has been successfully used to relieve ulnar
impaction syndrome and may help in stabilizing the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) by increasing …
