Abstract：
The meniscus plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the knee joint, and when it becomes damaged, partial removal or replacement is necessary to restore proper function. Understanding the stress and deformation of the meniscus during various movements is essential for developing effective materials for meniscus repair. However, accurately estimating the contact mechanics of the knee joint can be challenging due to its complex shape and the dynamic changes it undergoes during movement. To address this issue, the open-source software SCONE can be used to establish a kinematics model that monitors the different states of the knee joint during human motion and obtains relevant gait kinematics data. To evaluate the stress and deformation of the meniscus during normal human movement, values of different states in the movement gait can be selected for finite element analysis (FEA) of the knee joint. This analysis enables researchers to assess changes in the meniscus. To evaluate meniscus damage, it is necessary to obtain changes in its mechanical behavior during abnormal movements. This information can serve as a reference for designing and optimizing the mechanical performance of materials used in meniscus repair and replacement.
摘要：
半月板在膝关节的正常功能中起着至关重要的作用，当它受损时，部分移除或更换是必要的，以恢复适当的功能。了解各种运动过程中半月板的应力和变形对于开发用于半月板修复的有效材料至关重要。然而,准确估计膝关节的接触力学可能是具有挑战性的，由于其复杂的形状和动态变化，它在运动过程中经历。为了解决这个问题，开源软件SCONE可用于建立运动学模型，监测人体运动过程中膝关节的不同状态，获取相关步态运动学数据。为了评估人体正常运动过程中弯月面的应力和变形，可以选择运动步态中不同状态的值进行膝关节的有限元分析(FEA)。这种分析使研究人员能够评估弯月面的变化。为了评估半月板损伤，有必要在异常运动期间获得其机械行为的变化。这些信息可以作为设计和优化弯月面修复和更换中使用的材料的机械性能的参考。
