In Vitro Kinematics Of Human Native Knees: A Database Of 60 Specimens

Human knee kinematics has been widely studied, but data collected so far is fragmented. In vivo data is either based on three dimensional (3D) motion capture techniques or on fluoroscopy. 3D motion capture is not very accurate and shows only knee rotations. Fluoroscopy is more accurate but can not easily be applied to larger groups of healthy subjects. In vitro data has also been published, but only for small numbers of specimens. The aim of this work is to present accurate morphology and tibio-femoral in vitro kinematics of 60 human knees using a single methodology.status: publishe
