Effect of Gait on Patellofemoral Mechanics
Keyword(s):
Computational modeling of the reconstructed knee is an important tool in designing components for maximum functionality and life. Utilization of boundary conditions consistent with in vivo gait loading in such models enables predictions of knee kinematics and polyethylene damage [1–4], which can then be used to optimize component design. Several recent clinical studies have focused on complications associated with the patellofemoral joint [5–6], highlighting the need to better understand the mechanics of this compartment of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study utilizes a computational model to characterize the impact of gait loading on the mechanics of the patella in TKA.
