## Abstract The incidence of meniscal tears in the chronically anterior cruciate ligamentβdeficient knee is increased, particularly in the medial menicus because it performs an important function in limiting knee motion. We evaluated the role of the medial meniscus in stabilizing the anterior cruci

## Abstract Although collagen fibers are arranged predominantly in the circumferential direction in the knee meniscus, there is evidence for radially oriented fibers within human menisci. A bovine medial meniscus model was used to study the hypothesis that radial fibers alter the radial tensile pro
## Abstract The knee adduction moment (KAM) provides a major contribution to the elevated load in the medial compartment of the knee. An abnormally high KAM has been linked with the progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Footwearβgenerated biomechanical manipulations reduce the magnitude of this
