Pressure Sensors for Measuring Tibiofemoral Contact Mechanics in Meniscal Root Repair: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tibiofemoral contact mechanics (TFCM) is an accepted biomechanical metrics for evaluating the meniscus in its intact, torn, and repaired states. Pressure sensors are increasingly used, with accuracy and repeatability influenced by test conditions, their design, and their properties. To identify factors optimising performance, we performed a systematic review of the literature on their use for measuring TFCM in posterior meniscal root tears.

Methods

The Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials, PubMed, and Embase were used to perform a systematic review using the PRISMA criteria. As laboratory and surgical setup can influence sensor performance, we collected data on specimen preparation, repair techniques, hardware use, and biomechanical testing parameters.
