High tibial osteotomy effectively redistributes compressive knee loads during walking

Enrico De Pieri et al.

Summary: This study used musculoskeletal modeling to assess lower limb kinematics and kinetics and knee intra-articular forces in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) undergoing high tibial osteotomy (HTO). The researchers found significant changes in the load distribution at the knee after HTO, but these biomechanical changes did not correlate with improvements in Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscores.

Effects of Hip Abductor Strengthening on Musculoskeletal Loading in Hip Dysplasia Patients after Total Hip Replacement

Giordano Valente et al.

Summary: This study investigated differences in gait function and musculoskeletal loads during walking between hip dysplasia patients who received hip abductor strengthening after total hip replacement and those who only performed standard rehabilitation. The results showed that patients who underwent muscle strengthening exhibited a more physiological force pattern and greater force in the operated limb, although this was statistically significant only in certain portions of the gait cycle and potentially related to higher gait speed. Further studies on hip dysplasia patients would be beneficial in understanding the effects of muscle strengthening on loads.

The effects of knee pain on knee contact force and external knee adduction moment in patients with knee osteoarthritis

Momoko Yamagata et al.

Summary: This study revealed that patients with severe symptomatic knee osteoarthritis had significantly higher KAM and medial knee contact force (KCF) compared to those with mild symptoms, along with a significant medial shift of KCF in severe symptomatic patients.

Dynamic Knee Joint Line Orientation Is Not Predictive of Tibio-Femoral Load Distribution During Walking

Adam Trepczynski et al.

Summary: In total knee arthroplasty, static alignment in frontal radiographs does not accurately predict dynamic motion and load distribution, while the external knee adduction moment shows strong correlations with medial force and mediolateral force distribution.

Knee loading in OA subjects is correlated to flexion and adduction moments and to contact point locations

Ali Zeighami et al.

Summary: This study found that the location of contact points had little impact on knee medial and lateral contact force in OA patients and healthy subjects. The anterior-posterior position of the medial contact points had a weak correlation with medial contact force in OA patients. Knee adduction moment and knee flexion moment remained the best predictors of contact force.
