The knee joint is one of the largest and most powerful joints of the human body since it supports enormous loads and pressures while offering stable and flexible movements. For this reason, the lower limb is vulnerable to the appearance of degenerative diseases, such as femoro-tibial osteoarthritis (OA) that dramatically reduces the quality of life in a patient. Knee osteoarthritis represents an enormous public health problem for patients and imposes a significant economic burden. Knee OA leads to annual healthcare expenses of more than $ 27 billion with gross knee arthroplasty budgets reaching $ 11 billion annually. Developing new prognostic technology and methodology could contribute to the detection of this disease and reduce human and economic losses. The objective of this research topic is to collect recent studies on the development of new techniques for the prognosis, prediction, diagnosis, and modeling of human knee diseases, in particular osteoarthritis. The change of biomechanics induced by a knee arthroplasty and its effect on knee performance is also part of the research project proposal.
