To perform this research, the anatomical model of the knee joint was developed and the nonlinear mechanical properties of the cartilage and meniscus were verified. The stress\u2013strain curve of the meniscus was obtained by testing fresh tissue specimens of the human meniscus using a compression machine. The results showed that the more deteriorated meniscus had greater stiffness, but its integrity had the greatest impact on the growth of cartilage stresses. To confirm this, cases of radial, longitudinal, and complex tears were examined. The methodology and results of the study can assist in medical diagnostics for meniscus treatment and replacement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bioengineering10030314","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,2]],"date-time":"2023-03-02T02:10:59Z","timestamp":1677723059000},"page":"314","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Modeling the Impact of Meniscal Tears on von Mises Stress of Knee Cartilage Tissue"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7221-3844","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oleg","family":"Ardatov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mechanics, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, LT-10223 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0175-4667","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Viktorija","family":"Aleksiuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Regenerative Medicine, State Research Institute Centre for Innovative Medicine, LT-08410 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Algirdas","family":"Maknickas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mechanics, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, LT-10223 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rimantas","family":"Stonkus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mechanics, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, LT-10223 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5484-9163","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilona","family":"Uzieliene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Regenerative Medicine, State Research Institute Centre for Innovative Medicine, LT-08410 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raminta","family":"Vaiciuleviciute","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Regenerative Medicine, State Research Institute Centre for Innovative Medicine, LT-08410 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8118-6377","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jolita","family":"Pachaleva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Regenerative Medicine, State Research Institute Centre for Innovative Medicine, LT-08410 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giedrius","family":"Kvederas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Vilnius University, LT-03101 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eiva","family":"Bernotiene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Regenerative Medicine, State Research Institute Centre for Innovative Medicine, LT-08410 Vilnius, Lithuania"},{"name":"Faculty of Fundamental Sciences, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, LT-10221 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"435","DOI":"10.3109\/17453679008993557","article-title":"Epidemiology of meniscal lesions in the knee: 1,215 open operations in copenhagen 1982-84","volume":"61","author":"Hede","year":"1990","journal-title":"Acta Orthop.
