424 Computational Modelling of Biomechanics and Biotribology
results. The model variables therefore need to be related to experimental
values to ensure that the quantities predicted are physiologically and bio-
mechanically viable.
14.2 Application of computational models in analysis
of knee implants
The success of a knee replacement is dependent on its ability to reproduce
knee function, maintain bone–implant interface integrity and its capability
to resist wear. It is thus essential to analyse and clearly quantify motions
and loads on the knee components, since the three failure modes are
strongly dependent on the kinematics and kinetics ...
