Mechanical changes in the knee after meniscectomy.
TL;DR: This investigation showed that the menisci perform a load-transmitting and energy-absorbing function in the knee joint and the stress acting across the joint increased significantly after meniscectomy.

The biomechanics of anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation and reconstruction
Steven W. Arms,Malcolm H. Pope,Robert J. Johnson,Richard A. Fischer,Inga Arvidsson,Ejnar Eriksson +5 more
TL;DR: Strain in the human knee ACL was significantly different depending on whether the knee flexion angle was changed passively or via simulated quadriceps contraction, and the knee joint capsule was found to be important for strain protection of the ACL.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Strain Behavior During Rehabilitation Exercises In Vivo
Bruce D. Beynnon,Braden C. Fleming,Robert J. Johnson,Claude E. Nichols,Per A. Renström,Malcolm H. Pope +5 more
TL;DR: The objective of this investigation was to measure the strain behavior of this ligament dur ing rehabilitation activities in vivo and found that ligament strain values for active exten sion of the knee with a weight of 45 N applied to a sub ject's lower leg were significantly greater than active motion without the weight.

Etiology of spondylolisthesis. Assessment of the role played by lumbar facet joint morphology.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that patients developing degenerative spondylolisthesis are predisposed to this by a developmental sagittal orientation of the L4-5 facet joints is supported.

An internal fixator for posterior application to short segments of the thoracic, lumbar, or lumbosacral spine. Design and testing.
Martin H. Krag,Bruce D. Beynnon,Malcolm H. Pope,John W. Frymoyer,Larry D. Haugh,Donald L. Weaver +5 more
TL;DR: A new spinal implant has been designed and biomechanical testing completed, intended for application to "short-segment" spinal defects such as disc degeneration, fracture, spondylolisthesis, or tumor.
