Femorotibial weight-bearing areas. Experimental determination
Abstract
We measured the areas of the weight-bearing surfaces of the femorotibial joint of specimens subjected to a compressive force of between 225 and 250 kiloponds, which is considered a physiological load, exerted through the center of the knee. We found the areas to range from 20.13(2) to 11.60 cm2 from extension to flexion of the knee in normal knees, and from 12 cm2 to 6 cm2 after removal of the menisci.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
