Topological Space of the #Knee Tensegrity System by Wangdo Kim in BJSTR

Abstract

Estimating the #kneeaxis is crucial to both correctly aligning components in #kneearthroplasty and assessing the joint #kinematics. From the point of view of perceptual #psychology, it is especially interesting that one can use the part-whole relationship at the knee joint as the basic theory. We characterize the concept of a “knee axis” and further the concept of “surrounding.” It is now generally recognized that the whole-part relationship, and the relationships of the parts to each other play a fundamental role in producing the screw axis of the #knee (SAK). We present conditions of component alignment in the arthroplasty based on the principle that the part should become a member of the whole. If any screw motion with respect to the SAK is applied to the lines of forces that form the surrounding, these forces remain within the surroundung.
