Biomechanical Evaluation of Isotropic and Shell-Core Composite Meniscal Implants for Total Meniscus Replacement: A Nonlinear Finite Element Study

Biomechanical Evaluation of Isotropic and Shell-Core Composite Meniscal Implants for Total Meniscus Replacement: A Nonlinear Finite Element Study

Loss of meniscal function due to symptomatic meniscal tears or meniscectomy leads to biomechanical instability and articular cartilage degeneration. Synthetic meniscal implants ought to ideally restore normal joint contact mechanics and thus forfending the overlying cartilage from degeneration. The...
