Figure 3. Effect on the contact force distribution.

Figure 3.

The effect of an altered joint geometry in A) the coronal plane, C) the transverse plane and an altered joint alignment in B) the coronal plane and D) the transverse plane on the knee contact force distribution at the first peak (FP, solid line) and at the second peak (SP, dashed line). The blue line shows the effect on the medial condyle contact force, and the orange line shows the effect on the lateral condyle contact force. A significant difference compared to the contact force during the reference simulation (gray bar) is indicated by a solid dot (first peak) and a solid triangle (second peak). (αBC = 0.0031)
