Features of the radius of curvature of the talocrural joint, however, remain unclear. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the radius of curvature at the mid, medial, and lateral regions of both the talar trochlea and the tibial plafond, and to estimate subject-specific kinematics of...

Errors in using fixed flexion facet centers to determine tibiofemoral kinematics increase fourfold for multi-radius femoral component designs with early versus late decreases in the radius of curvatureAnterior-posterior positionFemoral condyleFluoroscopyLowest point method...
However, the influence of the sagittal curvature of the femoral condyles on knee ligaments remains unclear. This study quantified the length change patterns of the medial and lateral collateral ligaments (MCL and LCL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in 15 subjects with a gradually reducing ...
. Cases were also not examined if any part of the event occurred substantially outside the domain described below. The total number of cases that met the criteria and had adequate data availability for analysis was 59. The number of cases rejected for excessive curvature or the presence of ...
