“…Palm et al (2010) did not report the location and degree of meniscus injury; thus, those patients may have had both medial and lateral meniscus injuries. This result was also consistent with the conclusions previously drawn from gait analysis (Bulgheroni et al, 2007) and gait variability (Magyar et al, 2011).…”

“…On the basis of our results it can be assumed that the one-year postoperative period was not enough for the regeneration of mechanoreceptors in the meniscus. Previous research demonstrated differences in gait parameters (Bulgheroni et al, 2007;Magyar et al, 2008) and in the variability of gait (Magyar et al, 2011). Postural stability and joint positioning were defective postoperatively compared to controls (Jerosh et al, 1996;Al-Dadah et al, 2011).…”

“…Meniscus injury and medial partial meniscectomy have been shown to significantly influence the biomechanical parameters of gait (McNicholas et al, 2000;Bulgheroni et al, 2007;Magyar et al, 2008;Netravali et al, 2010) and the variability of gait (Magyar et al, 2011). The meniscus insures mechanical stability and transmission of sensory-motor information.…”

“…Many researchers pointed out that the secondary injuries, e.g., cartilage injury, meniscus injury, and KOA, can occur if not treated in time. And the ligament reconstruction, as a recognized effective treatment, can dramatically recover the knee biomechanics [85][86][87][88]. In the five types of injures, nearly half of ligament injuries are isolated injuries to the ACL [89].…”

The knee joint, as the main lower limb motor joint, is the most vulnerable and susceptible joint. The knee injuries considerably impact the normal living ability and mental health of patients. Understanding the biomechanics of a normal and diseased knee joint is in urgent need for designing knee assistive devices and optimizing a rehabilitation exercise program. In this paper, we systematically searched electronic databases (from 2000 to November 2019) including ScienceDirect, Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, and IEEE/IET Electronic Library for potentially relevant articles. After duplicates were removed and inclusion criteria applied to the titles, abstracts, and full text, 138 articles remained for review. The selected articles were divided into two groups to be analyzed. Firstly, the real movement of a normal knee joint and the normal knee biomechanics of four kinds of daily motions in the sagittal and coronal planes, which include normal walking, running, stair climbing, and sit-to-stand, were discussed and analyzed. Secondly, an overview of the current knowledge on the movement biomechanical effects of common knee musculoskeletal disorders and knee neurological disorders were provided. Finally, a discussion of the existing problems in the current studies and some recommendation for future research were presented. In general, this review reveals that there is no clear assessment about the biomechanics of normal and diseased knee joints at the current state of the art. The biomechanics properties could be significantly affected by knee musculoskeletal or neurological disorders. Deeper understanding of the biomechanics of the normal and diseased knee joint will still be an urgent need in the future.

Background. Injuries of meniscus are the frequent lesions in the knee joint (KJ). A big number of false-positive and false-negative outcomes may mislead not only a patient but also a specialist in traumatology and orthopedics. Functional and biomechanical studies of the knee joint might provide additional data for clinical decision making and diagnostics.Materials and Methods. The authors studied 47 patients with traumatic and degenerative tears of the KJ meniscus. All patients were divided into 3 groups. Group I included 10 patients analyzed before and after the arthroscopic treatment, Group II included 22 patients analyzed before treatment only and Group III included 15 patients analyzed after the surgical treatment only. The authors studied the gait biomechanics as well as hip and knee function. In Group I the time from disease onset to the surgical treatment was 9.7 months. The grade on the KOOS scale was 29.4 points before the treatment and 80.2 points after the treatment. In Group II, the grade was 34.2 points. In Group III, the grade was 85.6 point.Results. The temporal characteristics of the gait cycle did not exhibit any differences from the normal state in all the groups. In Group I a statistically significant increase of the hip extension amplitude was observed, both for the operated and the intact leg. In Groups II and III the authors did not observe this pattern. The abduction-adduction and rotation motions in the hip did not exhibit any significant changes in all the three groups. In Group I knee joint kinematics at the affected side did not differ from intact leg prior to the treatment. After the surgery the value of magnitude phase during the basic knee flexion at the operated side significantly decreased. The amplitude itself increased, but the difference did not reach a statistical significance due to high data dispersion. Patients of Group II and III also demonstrated significant difference in the phase of basic flexion with the same value on the intact side. The abduction-adduction motions were decreased at the intact side after the surgery in the first group.Conclusion. Thus, the meniscus injury results in slight disorder in the walking and biomechanics of the knee which are successfully compensated during one year after arthroscopic treatment.
