Abstract

A specific method for accurate and reproducible in vivo knee studies was developed. The femoral knee axis is represented by a straight line which connects lateral and medial markers fixed on the femoral epicondyles. The tibia is represented by three markers. The relative displacements of the femoral knee axis versus the tibia make it possible to determine a knee local frame and to calculate the angles of abduction and axial rotation in the local frame based upon the tibial plateaus.
