Objective The optimal anterolateral procedure to control anterolateral rotational laxity of the
knee is still unknown. The objective was to compare the ability of five anterolateral …

Objectives Given the common occurrence of residual laxity and re-injury post anterior cruciate
ligament reconstruction (ACLR), additional anterolateral procedures are increasingly used …

Background The ligaments in the knee are prone to injury especially during dynamic activities.
The resulting instability can have a profound impact on a patient’s daily activities and …

Background Isolated ACL reconstructions (ACLR) demonstrate limitations in restoring
native knee kinematics. This study investigates the knee mechanics of ACLR plus various …

Background Commercial fusion cages typically provide support in the central region of the
endplate, failing to utilize the increased compressive strength around the periphery. This …

Tissue scaffolds aim to provide a cell-friendly biomechanical environment for facilitating cell
growth. Existing studies have shown significant demands for generating a certain level of …

Heat and mass transfer in macellular materials signifies an important topic of research for a
