Abstract: In this first part of a two-part paper, the results of measurement of static pressure distribution on the tibial surface of the knee are presented. Results with intact menisci have been ...

Abstract: This second part of a two-part paper is concerned with the measurement of static pressure distribution on the retropatellar surface. The study has been performed in a loading apparatus designed ...

Abstract: The in-vitro static load-displacement properties of the intact and the injured human lumber intervertebral joint have been investigated in a loading apparatus which allows entirely unconstrained ...

Abstract: In this second part of a two-part report, an idealized model of the stem fixation system is analyzed to determine the adverse effects of the thermal stresses and displacements of bone cement ...

Abstract: In this first part of a two-part report, some aspects of the volumetric behavior of bone cement during its curing process are examined as a prelude to an analysis for the transient and ...
