STRESS ANALYSIS OF KNEE JOINT ENDOPROSTHESIS

Since we participate on development of knee joint replacement MedinModular (by Medin Orthopedics, a.s., Czech republic) [7], our aim is to assemble such a complex model, consisting of all bones of the knee and main muscle and ligamentous units, which could realistically simulate behavior of the human knee joint. In this article, newly assembled 3D geometrical model of the leg is presented. It is represented by all it’s main bones and a total knee replacement. Results of the first model are presented.
