Title: Two Interactive Models of Patellofemoral Joint
Description: Two computer models have been developed in the AUTOCAD environment
to analyse the patellofemoral joint. Interacting with each other,
they can be effectively used for 3-D analysis of stability and
contact area. The most significent advance of thses models is the
facility allowing the profiles of the patella and femur to be
changed, in order to analyse and compare various profiles.
