Abstract: To reconstruct locomotor behaviors of fossil hominins and understand the evolution of bipedal locomotion in the human lineage, it is important to clarify the functional morphology of the talar trochlea in humans and extant great… read more here.

Abstract: BackgroundThis study was performed to determine if the effectiveness of patellofemoral bracing as a treatment for patellofemoral osteoarthritis is influenced by patellofemoral joint alignment and trochlear morphology. We hypothesized that those with more extreme patellar… read more here.

Differences in Trochlear Morphology of a New Femoral Component Designed for Kinematic Alignment from a Mechanical Alignment Design

DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11010062
Abstract: Because kinematic alignment (KA) aligns femoral components in greater valgus and with less external rotation than mechanical alignment (MA), the trochlear groove of an MA design used in KA is medialized, which can lead to… read more here.
