Abstract:Objectives:Joint reaction forces (JRF) and contact pressures are classically measured using destructive techniques which require dissection and interposition of materials into the joint, fundamentally altering the normal joint mechanics. Without an alternate method available, modern hip JRF biomechanical studies involve this stripping of periarticular tissues, potentially sacrificing accurate measurements. As hip arthroscopy is increasingly employed for minimally invasive treatment of hip pathology, there may … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
