RISAdvances in Quantification of Meniscus Tensile Mechanics Including Nonlinearity, Yield, and Failure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The meniscus provides crucial knee function and damage to it leads to osteoarthritis of the articular cartilage. Accurate measurement of its mechanical properties is therefore important, but there is uncertainty about how ...
Acute Repair of Meniscus Root Tear Partially Restores Joint Displacements as Measured With Magnetic Resonance Images and Loading in a Cadaveric Porcine Knee
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The meniscus serves important load-bearing functions and protects the underlying articular cartilage. Unfortunately, meniscus tears are common and impair the ability of the meniscus to distribute loads, increasing the risk ...
Volume Loss and Recovery in Bovine Knee Meniscus Loaded in Circumferential Tension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Load-induced volume change is an important aspect of knee meniscus function because volume loss creates fluid pressure, which minimizes friction and helps support compressive loads. The knee meniscus is unusual amongst ...
Overload in a Rat In Vivo Model of Synergist Ablation Induces Tendon Multiscale Structural and Functional Degeneration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tendon degeneration is typically described as an overuse injury with little distinction made between magnitude of load (overload) and number of cycles (overuse). Further, in vivo, animal models of tendon degeneration are ...
Internal Three Dimensional Strains in Human Intervertebral Discs Under Axial Compression Quantified Noninvasively by Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Image Registration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Study objectives were to develop, validate, and apply a method to measure threedimensional (3D) internal strains in intact human discs under axial compression. A custombuilt loading device applied compression and permitted ...
