Dynamic simulations of a total knee replacement: assessing the performance envelope using patient specific loads

Dynamic simulations of a total knee replacement: assessing the performance envelope using patient specific loads
Dynamic simulations of a total knee replacement: assessing the performance envelope using patient specific loads
A three-dimensional finite element (FE) knee model was developed to predict the performance envelope of a knee prosthesis for a group of patients. Level gait knee joint forces of seven healthy patients were used to drive the FE model. The only kinematic input used was the flexion-extension (F-E) angles. The parameters examined include the anterior-posterior (A-P) displacements, internalexternal (I-E) rotations and the polyethylene (PE) stresses. A performance envelope was obtained for each of the parameters of interest. The maximum femoral component posterior displacement was 3.6 mm and the maximum anterior displacement was 4.8 mm. The highest internal rotation of the femoral component was 4.3° while the highest external rotation was approximately 7°. The highest maximum von Mises stress was 22.1 MPa.

Abstract

A three-dimensional finite element (FE) knee model was developed to predict the performance envelope of a knee prosthesis for a group of patients. Level gait knee joint forces of seven healthy patients were used to drive the FE model. The only kinematic input used was the flexion-extension (F-E) angles. The parameters examined include the anterior-posterior (A-P) displacements, internalexternal (I-E) rotations and the polyethylene (PE) stresses. A performance envelope was obtained for each of the parameters of interest. The maximum femoral component posterior displacement was 3.6 mm and the maximum anterior displacement was 4.8 mm. The highest internal rotation of the femoral component was 4.3° while the highest external rotation was approximately 7°. The highest maximum von Mises stress was 22.1 MPa.
