The biomechanical changes of load distribution with longitudinal tears of meniscal horns on knee joint: a finite element analysis

Abstract Background Meniscal horns are important structures of meniscus, and longitudinal tears of these places could significantly change the load distribution among the knee joint. Few studies concerned the stress concentrated on bones, which may induce the osteonecrosis of subchondral bone. The g...
