Computational Simulation of Patellar Instability

NCT02998372 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 3

Last updated 2019-05-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Computational simulation will be performed to represent motion of knees with a dislocating kneecap. Common surgical treatment methods will be simulated and anatomical parameters commonly associated with the dislocation will be varied in order to characterize the most appropriate surgical approach as a function of knee anatomy.

Conditions

  • Patellar Instability

Interventions

PROCEDURE
