Identification of locations susceptible to osteoarthritis in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: Combining knee joint computational modelling with follow-up T1 ρ and T2 imaging

Finite element models with patient-specific geometries and motions and relatively simple material models of tissues were able to identify areas susceptible to post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis. We suggest that the methodology presented here may be applied in large cohort studies.
