Modeling And Biomechanical Analysis Of Human Knee Joint

The main objective of the present work is to implement the computer aided technology to study the biomechanical behavior of human knee joint which consists of Femur, Tibia, Patella, Menisci, Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), and Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL). Three-Dimensional (3D) model of knee joint was created. The Mechanical properties like young’s modules, Poisson’s ratio of the human bones will vary from person to person, in general according to age, weight, gender, and feeding habits. We considered for this work to create a 3D model using cadaver bones of male 30years old, 1.70m tall, and weight was 66kg.which is collected from Anatomy Department of SRM Medical College and Research Institute, Kattankulathur. The individual bones femur, tibia and patella are modeled using Solid Works. The biomechanical behavior of individual bone, assembly model and flexion angles under varying loading conditions are studied.
