To fully quantify the effect of posterior tibial slope (PTS) angles on joint kinematics and contact mechanics of intact and anterior cruciate ligament-deficient (ACLD) knees during the gait cycle. In this controlled laboratory study, we developed an original multiscale subject-specific finite element musculoskeletal framework model and integrated it with the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints with high-fidelity joint motion representations, to investigate the effects of 2.5° increases in PTS angles on joint dynamics and contact mechanics during the gait cycle.Aims
