Computational Simulation of Patellar Instability

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Patellar Instability

In brief

Computational simulation will be performed to represent motion of knees with a dislocating kneecap. Common surgical treatment methods will be simulated and anatomical parameters commonly associated with the dislocation will be varied in order to characterize the most appropriate surgical approach as a function of knee anatomy.
