Abstract
The success of current total knee replacement (TKR) devices is contingent on the kinematics and contact mechanics during in vivo physiological activity. A great deal of research has gone into determining parameters important to proper long-term joint function. Indicators of potential wear performance in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) total joint replacement components include contact stress and area due to articulations, and tibio-femoral and patello-femoral kinematics. All have been used to compare implant designs and serve as a basis for differentiation of systems.
