The effect of a centralization procedure for extruded lateral meniscus on load distribution in porcine knee joints at different flexion angles

The effect of a centralization procedure for extruded lateral meniscus on load distribution in porcine knee joints at different flexion angles

Abstract Background Meniscal extrusion results in loss of the ability to resist hoop strain and biomechanical overload on the joint articular surface. A centralization technique has been developed to overcome these problems. In this study, we analyzed the biomechanics of the extruded and centralized...
