Biomechanical impact of severe genu valgum (18°) on the lateral meniscus: a finite element stress analysis

PubMed — DICOM · 20 August 2026 · Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology

Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology has published a 2026 study by García-Laguna MA exploring the biomechanical impact of severe genu valgum at an 18-degree angle on the lateral meniscus.

According to the publication, the research utilizes a finite element stress analysis to evaluate how this specific angular deformity affects meniscal stress within the knee joint.
