Does increasing applied load lead to contact changes indicative of knee osteoarthritis? A subject-specific FEA study

Summary This study investigated whether increased loading (representing obesity) in the extended knee and flexed knee led to increased stresses in areas of typical medial and lateral osteoarthritis cartilage lesions, respectively. We created two paired sets of subject‐specific finite element models;...
