The effects of different repair methods for a posterior root tear of the lateral meniscus on the biomechanics of the knee: a finite element analysis

Abstract Purpose To explore the impact of different repair methods for a lateral meniscus posterior root tear on the biomechanics of the knee joint using finite element analysis. Methods Finite element models of a healthy knee were established on the basis of MRI data from a volunteer using Mimics s...
