Abstract

The contact situations of knee implants were studied experimentally and theoretically. Strain gauges were used to evaluate subsurface stresses. Both normal contact loads and contact loads coupled with sliding loads were studied. Finite element method was used to critically examine parameters associated with the contact behavior of the polymer tibial component of the implants. The sliding action which occurred at the knee joint influenced the contact stress levels in the implant polymer.
