Ligaments of the Knee A Machine-Generated Literature Overview

This is the first machine-generated literature overview on the ligaments of the knee. Introduced and curated by experts in knee surgery, it provides a sound summary of the current knowledge base on knee ligamentous anatomy, kinematics and surgical procedures. 

The auto-summaries have been generated by a recursive clustering algorithm via the Dimensions Auto-summarizer by Digital Science handled by Subject Matter Experts and the editors of this book. The editors of this book selected which SN content should be auto-summarized and decided its order of appearance. Please be aware that these are extractive auto-summaries, which consist of original sentences, but are not representative of its original paper, since we do not show the full length of the publication. Also note that only published SN content is represented here, and that machine-generated books are still at an experimental stage.
