Biomechanical impact of lateral meniscus pathology on anterior cruciate ligament stress: a finite element analysis
This study confirms that lateral meniscus HCTs alter ACL stress, highlighting the importance of clinical awareness of these biomechanical implications in injury management. The results suggest that treatment strategies for lateral HCTs should prioritize preserving meniscal integrity to maintain knee joint function and stability.
