Stability characteristics of medial meniscus tear in mild varus knee: a finite element analysis
To our knowledge, this study is among the first to investigate the influence of varus alignment on stress distribution in meniscal tears using finite element analysis. This study investigates two types of radial tears and two types of longitudinal tear prototypes in three zones simultaneously. This study provides novel insights into how varus alignment influences stress distribution in meniscal tears, suggesting its potential role in guiding treatment decisions. Future studies incorporating clinical data are warranted to validate these findings.
