Stabilizing mechanisms of the loaded and unloaded knee joint

Hsieh, HH, Walker, PS·1976·The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery

Abstract

Knee specimens were placed in an apparatus which imposed cyclic anterior-posterior or rotatory forces, with various compressive loads applied to the joint. Force-displacement graphs or torque-rotation graphs were automatically plotted, giving the laxity under various conditions. The ligaments, capsule, and menisci provided joint stability under no-load conditions. However, under compressive loads, the conformity of the condylar surfaces was an important factor in stabilizing the knee. The mechanism proposed was the uphill movement of the femur as the femur and the tibia were displaced or twisted relative to one another.

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.
