Abstract EN
Total knee replacement (TKR) has been performed for patients with end-stage knee joint arthritis to relieve pain and gain functions.
Most knee replacement patients can gain satisfactory knee functions; however, the range of motion of the implanted knee is variable.
There are many designs of TKR implants; it has been suggested by some researchers that customized implants could offer a better option for patients.
Currently, the 3-dimensional knee model of a patient can be created from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) data using image processing techniques.
The knee models can be used for patient-specific implant design, biomechanical analysis, and creating bone cutting guide blocks.
Researchers have developed patient-specific musculoskeletal lower limb model with total knee replacement, and the models can be used to predict muscle forces, joint forces on knee condyles, and wear of tibial polyethylene insert.
These available techniques make it feasible to create customized implants for individual patients.
Methods and a workflow of creating a customized total knee replacement implant for improving TKR kinematics and functions are discussed and presented in this paper.
