Short and long duration tests were conducted on hollow femoral bone cylinders to study the circumferential (hoop) creep response of cortical bone subjected to an intramedullary radial load. It was hypothesized that there is a stress threshold above which nonlinear creep effects dominate the mechanical response and below which the response is primarily determined by linear viscoelastic material properties. The results indicate that a hoop stress threshold exists for cortical bone, where creep strain, creep strain rate and residual strain exhibited linear behavior at low hoop stress and nonlinear behavior above the hoop stress threshold. A power-law relationship was used to describe creep strain as a function of hoop stress and time and damage morphology was assessed.

Dynamic biomechanical effects of medial meniscus tears on the knee joint: a finite element analysis.
J Orthop Surg Res
January 2025
Key Laboratory for Biomechanics and Mechanobiology of Ministry of Education, Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Biomedical Engineering, School of Biological Science and Medical Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing, 100083, China.
Background: Meniscus tears can change the biomechanical environment of the knee joint and might accelerate the development of osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamic biomechanical effects of different medial meniscus tear positions and tear gaps on the knee during walking.
Methods: Seven finite element models of the knee joint were constructed, including the intact medial meniscus (IMM), radial stable tears in the anterior, middle, and posterior one-third regions of the medial meniscus (RSTA, RSTM, RSTP), and the corresponding unstable tears (RUTA, RUTM, RUTP).
Histopathology-based near-realistic arterial wall reconstruction of a patient-specific cerebral aneurysm for fluid-structure interaction studies.

Background And Objective: Cerebral aneurysms occur as balloon-like outpouchings in an artery, which commonly develop at the weak curved regions and bifurcations. When aneurysms are detected, understanding the risk of rupture is of immense clinical value for better patient management. Towards this, Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) studies can improve our understanding of the mechanics behind aneurysm initiation, progression, and rupture.

An incomplete discoid lateral meniscus is often associated with radial tears, which cause meniscal extrusion and result in poor healing outcomes. Centralization has recently been used as a surgical method to reduce extrusion. However, various repair techniques use single point of fixation sutures exclusively on the femoral side, potentially hindering healing.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how different manufacturing methods affect residual stresses in Dievar steel, comparing conventional ingot casting with selective laser melting (SLM) followed by hot rotary swaging.
- Rotary swaging significantly improved microstructure and hardness, decreasing residual stresses in SLM components from -600 MPa in the core to -300 MPa post-treatment, while enhancing overall material properties.
- The findings highlight the effectiveness of rotary swaging as a post-processing technique for optimizing mechanical performance and minimizing failure risks in additively manufactured steel.
Functional and Radiological Outcome of Meniscal Repair and Conservative Management for Medial Meniscal Root Tear - A Prospective Comparative Study.

Department of Orthopaedics, Chettinad Hospital and Research Education, Chettinad Academy of Research and Education, Kelambakkam, Tamil Nadu, India.
Introduction: To sustain hoop stress, prevent extrusion, and maintaining the function of the meniscus, the posterior root attachment point of the medial meniscus is essential. The purpose of this study is to determine the functional and radiological outcome of conservative therapy and meniscal repair for medial meniscal root tears.
Materials And Methods: Prospective evaluations were performed on forty individuals who confirmed a diagnosis of Medial meniscus root tear (MMRT).
