“…Additionally, our simulation was designed to ana- lyze extensor mechanism reaction forces and patellofemoral stress as output data, thus patellofemoral kinematics were not collected. Lastly, model inputs such as the patellar retinaculum [31,32], hamstring tendons [33] and more complex collateral ligaments models [34] could be incorporated to provide more realistic patellofemoral behavior during squatting motion. In addition to some intraoperative tools [35], a preoperative computational simulation tool could predict individual patellofemoral forces and contact pressure with respect to implant position or patient-specific anatomy, providingdata that would help the surgeon in planning the TKA implantation.…”
