GOAL To establish the capacity of Open Knee for complete reproduction of specimen-specific anterior-cruciate ligament deformations

METHODS: DATA 1 Borotikar BS, Doctoral Dissertation, Cleveland State University, Grood and Suntay, J Biomech Eng, 105: , Experimentation 1 Cadaver specimen used for Open Knee 100 N anterior drawer forces 0° flexion All other dofs free Measurements of ACL length DVRT (MicroStrain, Inc.) Kinematic Conventions 1 Joint rotations/translations based on Grood and Suntay convention 2

METHODS: MODEL Erdemir and Sibole, Open Knee User's Guide, Version 1.0.0, Bones rigid body Cartilage nearly incompressible Neo- Hookean Menisci Fung orthotropic hyperelastic horn attachments as springs Ligaments transversely isotropic hyperelastic

METHODS: SIMULATIONS Anterior Drawer time (s) N Anterior Drawer Force Simulation Type Dynamic; implicit time integration Tibia BCs Fixed in space Femur BCs Prescribed flexion (0°) Other dofs free Anterior drawer forces

METHODS: ACL DEFORMATIONS L length of anteromedial bundle L ref length of anteromedial bundle at 0° flexion ΔL/L ref gross measure of anterior cruciate ligament L

RESULTS: ACL DEFORMATIONS Anterior TranslationACL Deformation

RESULTS: OFF-AXIS KINEMATICS TranslationsRotations

DISCUSSION: SUMMARY Comparison of Open Knee kinematics (translation + rotation) and ACL deformation against specimen-specific experimental data Model predicted anterior displacements are lower Model predicted ACL deformations are higher Large discrepancies in off-axis kinematics internal tibial rotation lateral translation

DISCUSSION: LIMITATIONS Open Knee, for anterior drawer test, does not reliably predict ACL deformations and kinematics Gross ACL deformations Representation of ACL constitutive parameters in situ strains Representation of other components ligaments menisci Approximation of coordinate system registration

DISCUSSION: FUTURE WORK 1 Chokhandre, et al., SBC 2012, Fajardo, Puerto Rico. 2 Dhaher, et al., J Biomech, 43: , Acquisition of more elaborate data 1 registration imaging joint & tissue characterization Sensitivity analysis 2 Modeling abstractions Collaborative testing & development Joint Tissue

DISCUSSION: LONG TERM GOALS Predictive capacity for joint response tissue response Confirmed by population-based specimen-specific data for reliable decision-making Community-driven development experimentation modeling
