Abstract

The biomechanical environment of knee joint is instrumental for understanding human joint function, damage and degeneration. The objectives of this study are to reconstruct the tibia-femoral joint finite element model of human in vivo, to simulate the joint mechanical character, especially in menisci and cartilage, and to understand the mechanism of menisci and cartilage of knee joint damage from mechanical aspect. Using the magnetic resonance imaging device we obtained the MRI date of knee joint in the straight position in vivo and then constructed the model. This model covered tibia plateau, femur, tibia cartilage, femoral cartilage and meniscus, using this model we simulate the distribution of the stresses and deformation of knee joint cartilage and meniscus. The material properties of cartilage and meniscus were derived from literature. This finite element model can be used as a non-invasive method for characterizing and monitoring subject-specific knee loading patterns.
