Abstract

Osteoarthritis caused by knee sports injuries and cumulative fatigue damage is very common. The research result of biomechanical behavior of the human knee is not only important to know the etiology and pathogenesis, improve the treatment of joint diseases, but also helpful to design the knee rehabilitation and orthopedic brace. The experimental method and simulation method are mainly used in the biomechanical research of the knee joints. The finite element simulation method has been widely used in recent years, and its further development has to depend on the knowledge of macroscopic mechanical properties and microscopic structure of joint bone and tissue.
