The design of a model for a three dimensional stress analysis of the cement layer beneath the medial plateau of a knee prosthesis.
Factors which have influenced the design of a large scale model for an analysis of the strain in three dimensions of the cement layer beneath the medial plateau of a knee prosthesis are discussed. Materials were selected to model the medial tibial plateau, underlying cement and bone for a typical prosthesis and a two dimensional finite element analysis was used to indicate where the strain gauges should be embedded in the model.
