Clinical value of biomechanics and magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of knee osteoarthritis

WORMS and biomechanical parameters (medial femoral-meniscal contact area and peak stress) demonstrate good diagnostic value in knee osteoarthritis, with the maximal von Mises stress on the medial meniscus showing discriminatory power for disease severity. The combination of MRI and biomechanical analysis facilitates the assessment of knee osteoarthritis from both structural and functional perspectives, providing objective evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
