“…These models were used to describe the joint motion and kinematics in 2D/3D and to predict the loads in muscles, tendons, and ligaments [79, 107, 117–128]. In some of these models (mostly 2D), simple contact algorithms such as Hertz contact approach were used to describe the tissue interactions [123, 129, 130]. Some analytical models considered geometrical nonlinearities [120, 130] and often included the inertial effects of bones [131, 132].…”

Computational mechanics has been advanced in every area of orthopedic biomechanics. The objective of this paper is to provide a general review of the computational models used in the analysis of the mechanical function of the knee joint in different loading and pathological conditions. Major review articles published in related areas are summarized first. The constitutive models for soft tissues of the knee are briefly discussed to facilitate understanding the joint modeling. A detailed review of the tibiofemoral joint models is presented thereafter. The geometry reconstruction procedures as well as some critical issues in finite element modeling are also discussed. Computational modeling can be a reliable and effective method for the study of mechanical behavior of the knee joint, if the model is constructed correctly. Single-phase material models have been used to predict the instantaneous load response for the healthy knees and repaired joints, such as total and partial meniscectomies, ACL and PCL reconstructions, and joint replacements. Recently, poromechanical models accounting for fluid pressurization in soft tissues have been proposed to study the viscoelastic response of the healthy and impaired knee joints. While the constitutive modeling has been considerably advanced at the tissue level, many challenges still exist in applying a good material model to three-dimensional joint simulations. A complete model validation at the joint level seems impossible presently, because only simple data can be obtained experimentally. Therefore, model validation may be concentrated on the constitutive laws using multiple mechanical tests of the tissues. Extensive model verifications at the joint level are still crucial for the accuracy of the modeling.

“…Some early models were two-dimensional, and were restricted to the sagittal plane [1]. However, three-dimensional models are necessary to simulate real knee behavior, and several of them have been developed with different levels of simplification to simulate the mechanics of the natural knee [2][3][4] and total knee replacement (TKR) [5][6][7].…”

“…The inertial effects of bones were included in these joint models and in all cases, the ligaments were represented by simple elastic springs while bones were modelled as rigid bodies. The approach used by Moeinzadeh and Engin [128] in the development of a two-dimensional, sagittal plane knee joint model considered nonlinear elastic spring ligaments to connect the rigid bones. The model was used to predict ligament and joint contact forces with the application of dynamic loads to the tibia.…”

This paper provides a critical review of past and current techniques for the computational modelling of diarthrodial joints. The objective of the paper is to describe strategies for addressing the computational modelling of joint mechanics using the finite element (FE) method, differentiating between geometry, constitutive modelling of the components, computational aspects and applications. The structure and function of the main components of the joints are reviewed, with emphasis on the relationship of tissue microstructure with its continuum mechanical behavior. Applications to two diarthrodial joints (human knee and temporomandibular joint) in physiological, pathological and pos-surgery situations are presented and discussed. The paper concludes with a discussion of future research directions.
