Zusammenfassung

Die Hauptfunktion der Menisken im Kniegelenk ist die Kontaktdruckreduktion zwischen den tibiofemoralen Gelenkflächen. Die meniskotibialen Verankerungsligamente spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Umwandlung der axial einwirkenden Gelenkkraft in zirkumferente Dehnungen in der Meniskusperipherie. Für die Konzeption von Meniskusersatzimplantaten sind deshalb die Verankerungskräfte von zentraler Bedeutung. Aus diesem Grund wurden in der vorliegenden Studie die Belastungen in den anterioren meniskotibialen Verankerungsligamenten unter verschiedenen Belastungssituationen gemessen.

Abstract

The main biomechanical function of the knee meniscus is to enlarge the contact area of the tibiofemoral joint leading to a reduction in articular cartilage contact stress. The meniscal attachments are essential for converting the axial load into circumferential tension in the meniscal periphery. Consequently, meniscal substitutes need sufficient anchorage to the tibial plateau to adequately restore the biomechanical function of a replaced meniscus. Therefore the aim of the present study was to investigate the loads acting on the anterior meniscotibial attachments under various joint loads.
