Abstract:Relevance of the hyperelastic behavior of cruciate ligaments in the modeling of the human knee joint in sagittal planeABSTRACT: The rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most common injury of the human knee. When surgery is required, it is helpful for orthopedic surgeons to scientifi cally defi ne the best position for the graft, which approximates the functionality of an intact ACL. To accomplish that, it is crucial to estimate the force acting on the ligament (or graft) in response to an ext… Show more
