RISImpact Responses of the Flexed Human Knee Using a Deformable Impact Interface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Blunt impact trauma to the patellofemoral joint during car accidents, sporting activities, and falls can produce a range of injuries to the knee joint, including gross bone fracture, soft tissue ...
Blunt Injuries to the Patellofemoral Joint Resulting From Transarticular Loading Are Influenced by Impactor Energy and Mass
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Various impact models have been used to study the injury mechanics of blunt trauma to diarthrodial joints. The current study was designed to study the relationship between impactor energy and ...
An Analytical Model to Study Blunt Impact Response of the Rabbit P-F Joint
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While mechanisms of post-traumatic osteoarthrosis are largely unknown, excessive stresses and strains generated in articular cartilage and the underlying bone may play a role. In this manuscript ...
Development of a Traumatic Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscal Rupture Model With a Pilot In Vivo Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The current study describes the development of a small animal, closed-joint model of traumatic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscal rupture. This model can be used in future studies ...
Chondrocyte Damage and Contact Pressures Following Impact on the Rabbit Tibiofemoral Joint
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Epidemiological studies show that tibial plateau fractures comprise about 10% of all below-knee injuries in car crashes. Studies from this laboratory document that impacts to the tibiofemoral ...
Pure Passive Hyperextension of the Human Cadaver Knee Generates Simultaneous Bicruciate Ligament Rupture
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Knee hyperextension has been described as a mechanism of isolated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, but clinical and experimental studies have produced contradictory results for the ligament ...
Rotational Stiffness of Football Shoes Influences Talus Motion during External Rotation of the Foot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Shoe-surface interface characteristics have been implicated in the high incidence of ankle injuries suffered by athletes. Yet, the differences in rotational stiffness among shoes may also influence ...
Age Dependent Mechanical Properties of the Infant Porcine Parietal Bone and a Correlation to the Human
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An infant less than 18 months of age with a skull fracture has a one in three chance of abuse. Injury biomechanics are often used in the investigation of these cases. In addition to ...
A Biomechanical Investigation of Ankle Injury Under Excessive External Foot Rotation in the Human Cadaver
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerous studies on the mechanisms of ankle injury deal with injuries to the syndesmosis and anterior ligamentous structures but a previous sectioning study also describes the important role of ...
The Acute Effect of Bipolar Radiofrequency Energy Thermal Chondroplasty on Intrinsic Biomechanical Properties and Thickness of Chondromalacic Human Articular Cartilage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Radio frequency energy (RFE) thermal chondroplasty has been a widely-utilized method of cartilage debridement in the past. Little is known regarding its effect on tissue mechanics. This study ...
