In vitro experiments are particularly useful for studying kinematic changes in the normal knee exposed to experimental conditions simulating different disease states. We developed an experimental protocol allowing a kinematic analysis of the femorotibial and femoropatellar joints in healthy knees and after implantation of a knee prosthesis, using a central pivot to simulate active loaded movement from the standing to sitting position. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP: An experimental device was designed to apply force to the femur of a cadaveric specimen including the femur, the patella and the tibia. The tibia was angled in the sagittal plane and the femur was free to move in space in response to the geometric movement of the knee joint, the capsuloligamentary structures, the quadriceps tendon and gravity. Variation in the length of the quadriceps tendon controlled the flexion-extension movement. The experimental setup included computer-controlled activation allowing continuous coordinated movement of the femur relative to the tibia and of the tibia relative to the ground. Standard activations simulated movement from the standing to the sitting position.
