Computer Aided Design and Structural Analysis of the Endoprosthesis of the Knee Joint

The paper presents results of the preliminary structural analysis of model of the endoprosthesis of the knee joint. Basics of anatomy and biomechanics of the knee joint were introduced. Based on data from computed tomography, the model of knee joint was constructed. The prototype of the endoprosthesis of the knee joint was designed. After determining physical properties of structural materials, the Finite Elements Analysis of the model was conducted under various load conditions. Finally the results of analysis are presented.
