Abstract:
Background: Clinical cartilage repair strategies can be tested using the sheep model as suggest by the European Medicines Agency. To characterize variation within the joint a full biomechanical mapping is necessary. The aim of this study is to establish a loading model, to map regional differences within the knee and determine reference areas for area specific replacement techniques. Methods: A porous indenter was selected to evaluate 22 defined test locations (femoral condyles, tibia plate...     »
