Joint thickness was assessed using three-dimensional modelling techniques before and after the Bombelli intertrochanteric valgus-extension osteotomy. Before operation, the average thickness of the entire hemispherical surface was 2.3 mm, which was significantly thinner than that of the controls. Aft

It is known that afferent neurons play a protective role in knees made unstable by transection of the anterior cruciate ligament. However, it is not known whether cutting the anterior cruciate ligament has an effect on the response of the sensory neurons that innervate the joint. In this study, the
## Abstract Internal and external rotation of the femur plays an important role in defining the orientation of the patellofemoral joint, influencing contact areas, pressures, and cartilage stress distributions. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of femoral internal and externa
