Intraoperative computer assisted prediction of intraarticular contact pressures in the knee during high tibial osteotomy
ConclusionsWe have established a framework for estimating the change in intraarticular contact pressures based on extraarticular data. This research could be helpful in generating appropriate algorithms to estimate joint alignment changes based on applied loads.
