NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) used physics-based computer simulations to demonstrate that an individual’s three-dimensional (3D) knee articular shape (encompassing bone, cartilage, and menisci) influences anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) loading, independent of the properties of the surrounding soft tissue, such as ligaments. The results provide new insights into why some people are more prone to ACL injuries and why females experience significantly
