In the human knee joint, a degenerative wear of the joint can be formed, the common treatment of this disease is the total knee prosthesis geometry replacement and prosthesis implanting, the aim of our research is the study of the human knee joint with applications in prosthesis, we will develop a method by creating a virtual knee prosthesis geometries, we will generate the geometries using the ADAMS program and examined on a special knee prosthesis qualification equipment.

Abstract The necessity for the knee prosthesis is confirmed by the large increase in the number of patients suffering from arthrosis, which is a present-day disease. Despite this need, there doesn’t exist an optimal knee prosthesis. Nowadays the development of the knee prostheses is progressing. It is very difficult to define the required geometry with traditional methods, because the movement conditions to be created by the prostheses should be similar to the movements of the human knee. During previous research the biomechanical research team of the Szent István University occupied with experimental measurements of the healthy human knee joint movement. In this paper I would like to introduce a method of prosthesis geometry development. As a result, a knee prosthesis geometry has been created which is approaching the movement form of the real human knee joint.

In order to establish an accurate model of human knee joint, which lays a foundation for the follow-up finite element analysis of knee joint and biomechanics analysis, the paper based on the theory of biomechanics and MRI, with the help of professional modeling software, provides a 3D geometric model modeling and materialization processing method of knee joint, and established a total knee joint model including femur, tibia, fibular, meniscus, cartilage, ligament and other related structures.

In this paper the effects of varus tilt on contact stresses in the three components of total knee prostheses using 3D finite element analysis were investigated. Using Ansys simulation environment, six complex virtual models of human knee joint–prosthesis assembly obtained for six different varus tilts which increase from 176o to 191o, with an increment of 3o have been subjected to finite element analysis in order to obtain the stress maps and total displacements maps.

The human knee joint usually suffers progressive deterioration with time. The conventional cure of this issue is to replace it with an alternate knee by applying the prosthesis implant. The reason is that the process causes the abrasion of the different materials rather than just sliding or rolling. This study aims to develop the numerical measurement of the knee prosthesis’s geometry, which fulfils the mechanical requirements of the human knee. The MSC.ADAMS programme was applied to demonstrate the movement of the human knee joint in terms of rotation and flexion. The changes between the condyles of the developed multibody of the prosthesis related to the flexion angle ranging from 20–120° were investigated and presented. The boundary conditions were determined, and simulations performed using the ADAM’s programme. An average value of 0.7 was reached for the slip ration, with the maximum getting up to 0.79. An angle between 110–120° for the flexion angle was obtained. It can be said that the application of the multibody model saves time as there is no involvement of the tibia and the femur as required for the knee prosthesis. More importantly, as the application of the test machine is omitted in our process, our model’s approximations to a human knee are carried out directly. Without cost, several measurements for the knee prosthesis could be made and repaired. The study results provide the necessary insight for future tests regarding the movement of the knee joint.

In this paper, using 3D finite element method and starting from the virtual model of the human knee joint-prosthesis assembly, we investigate the effects of antero-posterior tibial slope on contact stresses in the three components of total knee prosthesis. Using AnsysWorkbench15.07 software, the stress and displacements maps are obtained for knee-prosthesis assemblies and for their components, considering two loading force: 800N and 2400N and two cases of prosthetic knee varus slope: 176o and b) 191o. For each prosthesis-knee assembly and for each considered force, two variants of antero-posterior tibial slope were considered: 00 and 50.
