laxity on wear and joint kinematics and <strong>the</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> anterior cruciate ligament has notbeen sufficiently taken into account in simulator wear studies. The aim <strong>of</strong> this study was toinvestigate different ligament and s<strong>of</strong>t tissue models with respect to wear and kinematics. Avirtual s<strong>of</strong>t tissue control system was used to simulate different motion restraints in a forcecontrolledknee wear simulator. The application <strong>of</strong> more realistic and sophisticated ligamentmodels that considered <strong>the</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> anterior cruciate ligament lead to a significant increase inpolyethylene wear (p=0.02) and joint kinematics (p
