Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, the current treatment procedures were biomechanically assessed. In the treatment of meniscus injuries, several techniques were compared based on the stability of the repaired site as an index, and the points of improvement of the current treatment procedure were clarified. In the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injuries, new findings were obtained regarding the mechanical properties of the tissue used in the treatment. These findings were obtained through direct and quantitative assessment of clinical procedures, and can be directly fed back to clinicians.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
関節外傷の治療では,生体組織の解剖学的な特徴を模倣する解剖学的外科治療が一般的に行われている.それらに対して本研究では,定量的なデータで治療の評価を行い,バイオメカニクス的データを基に現行治療法の課題を明らかにした.これらのデータは,現行治療法の改善に重要なデータであるだけでなく,解剖学的外科治療を生体力学的外科治療へとステップアップさせるための第一歩ともいえる.今後,この考え方が広まり,生体力学的に考案された治療法が開発され,関節外傷外科治療のレベルが一段と向上することが期待される.
