Loading conditions of the knee: what does it mean?

Authors: Roland Becker, Sebastian Kopf, Jon Karlsson

Published in: Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy | Issue 12/2013

Excerpt

Bracing, for unloading the knee on healthy subjects, was studied in the leading article of the current issue by Orishimo et al. [12]. Loading or unloading the knee is a very interesting and important aspect when postsurgical treatment of cartilage or meniscal lesions is discussed. …
