COMPUTER MODELLING IN ORTHOPAEDIC BIOMECHANICS _ 2019/2020 HOW TO USE THESE NOTES: this is a summary which contains all the information necessary to pass the exam. I suggest you to read the slides briefly and then use this summary to focus on the main concepts which are asked during the exam.

BIOMECHANICAL ASPECTS OF OSSEO-INTEGRATION AND AMPUTATION IMPLANTS 13. INTRODUCTION TO GAIT ANALYSIS 14. TOWARDS PATIENT SPECIFIC MUSCULOSKELETAL MODELING 15. INNOVATIONS IN TKA AND THA 1.1) FINITE ELEMENTS (see lecture 2)  You divide the object in a finite element number  You establish the contour conditions because you’ve introduced errors in splitting the object into elements 1.2) KNEE ANATOMY AND LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION  MENISCUS (see lecture 4) ▪ They are 2: lateral and medial meniscus ▪ Medial condile is connected to medial collateral ligament ▪ Reinforced in circumferential direction by fibers ▪ If the condile applies a load on the menisci, they generate circumferential forces  TIBIAL SLOPE ▪ 5° slope between tibial axis and femural axis ▪ More incidence of ACL injury if you…
