The stress of ligament / graft at femoral side of three finite- element models was significantly higher than at tibial side, while the highest level was observed in single-bundle reconstruction finite- element model. (bvsalud.org)
With the increase of force, the maximum stress in the medial (7.1-7.1 MPa) and lateral (4.9-7.4 MPa) meniscus of single-bundle reconstruction finite- element model shifted from the anterior horn to the central area (p = 0.0161, 0.0479, respectively). (bvsalud.org)
The stress was shown to be at a lower level at femoral side and posterior cruciate ligament of intra- knee in two reconstruction finite- element models than that in normal finite- element models, while presented higher level at the tibial side than normal knee (p = 0.3528). (bvsalud.org)
