This project studies the biomechanics of the knee meniscus to improve synthetic implant designs. It aims to replicate the meniscus's complex structure and behavior through innovative testing and modeling, ultimately enhancing joint function and longevity.
The meniscus plays a critical role in load transmission, stability and energy dissipation in the knee joint.
Loss of the meniscus leads to joint degeneration and osteoarthritis.
In a number of cases replacement of the resected meniscal tissue by a synthetic implant might avoid the articular cartilage degeneration.
None of the available implants presents optimal biomechanics characteristic due to the fact the biomechanics functionality of the meniscus is not yet fully understood.
