Mechanical changes in the knee after meniscectomy
WR Krause, MH Pope, RJ Johnson and DG Wilder
A compression testing machine was used to transmit increasing loads at
various strain rates across twelve canine and twelve human cadaver knees.
The specimens were originally evaluated with both menisci intact and the
same tests were repeated with one meniscus removed and then with both
menisci removed. This investigation showed that the menisci perform a
load-transmitting and energy-absorbing function in the knee joint. The
stress acting across the joint increased significantly after meniscectomy.
The intact meniscus was deformed during compressive loading rather than
being passively pushed away, thus demonstrating the presence of hoop
stresses within the meniscus.
