Existence of parameterized BV-solutions for rate-independent systems with discontinuous loads. [PDF]
We study a rate-independent system with non-convex energy in the case of a time-discontinuous loading. We prove existence of the rate-dependent viscous regularization by time-incremental problems, while the existence of the so called parameterized $BV$

Aims: A functional anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) has been assumed to be required for patients undergoing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). However, this assumption has not been thoroughly tested. Therefore,

Wilbrand's Knee: To Be or Not to Be a Knee? [PDF]
Abstract: Wilbrand's knee of the optic chiasm refers to crossing fibers from one optic nerve that stray for a short distance into the opposite optic nerve before joining the optic tract. This loop of aberrant axons, although small, has generated much controversy.

High rate of tibial debonding and failure in a popular knee replacement: a follow-up review
Aims: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common and safe orthopaedic procedure. Zimmer Biomet's NexGen is the second most popular brand of implant used in the UK. The primary cause of revision after the first year is aseptic loosening.

A quasilinear differential inclusion for viscous and rate-independent damage systems in non-smooth domains [PDF]
This paper focuses on (incomplete) rate-independent damage in elastic bodies. Since the driving energy is nonconvex, solutions may have jumps as a function of time, and in this situation it is known that the classical concept of energetic solutions for ...

Aims: To evaluate mid-to long-term patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of endoprosthetic reconstruction after resection of malignant tumours arising around the knee, and to investigate the risk factors for unfavourable PROMs.

Balanced viscosity solutions to a rate-independent system for damage
This article is the third one in a series of papers by the authors on vanishing-viscosity solutions to rate-independent damage systems. While in the first two papers (Knees, D. et al. 2013 Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci.23(4), 565–616; Knees, D.
