In this research, it is proposed to develop a three-dimensional model of knee implant from.stl file of knee joint using software s like meshlab, NetFabb and CATIA software s. The data is obtained from Sunshine Hospital, Secunderabad. Based on the dimensions of knee joint, it is proposed to Design a Knee implant in Catia software. Once the 3D CAD model is designed in Catia software, it is meshed in ANSYS and finite element analysis is performed for varying loads (500N-5000N). The obtained results are compared with the commercially available knee implant. According to walking condition the patient specific knee implant is analyzed for different flexion angles (15, 45, 60 degrees). Fabrication of prototypes of patient Specific knee implant and commercial available knee implants are done using FDM additive manufacturing process.

The knee joins the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia). The smaller bone runs alongside the tibia (fibula) and the knee-cap (patella) and the other bones that make the knee joint. Tendons connect the knee bones to the leg muscles that move the knee joint. Ligaments join the knee bones and provide stability to the knee joint: editor@iaeme.com
2 Finite Element Analysis of Knee Implant and Prototype Fabrication using Rpt Process The anterior cruciate ligament prevents the femur from sliding backward on the tibia (or the tibia sliding forward on the femur). The posterior cruciate ligament prevents the femur from sliding forward on the tibia (or the tibia from sliding backward on the femur). The medial and lateral collateral ligaments prevent the femur from sliding side to side. Two C-shaped pieces of cartilage called the medial and lateral menisci act as shock absorbers between the femur and tibia. Numerous bursae, or fluid-filled sacs, help the knee move smoothly. Figure 1 Knee Implant Reasons for damage of Knee Implant: the main reasons for the damage of the knee joint are as follows: Wear and loosening: Friction caused by joint surfaces rubbing against each other wears away the surface of the implant causing bone loss and loosening of the implants. Infection: Large metal and plastic implants can serve as a surface onto which bacteria can latch. Fracture: Fractures around the knee implant that disrupt its stability may require revision surgery. Instability: A sensation of the knee "giving away" may mean that the soft-tissue surrounding the knee is too weak to support standing and walking. Improperly placed implants may also cause instability. Stiffness: Loss of range of motion which causes pain and a functional deficit.[12] Implant material Generally Implants are manufactured with materials like metals, and ceramics. The metals used like Titanium, cobalt, chromium and stainless steel as shown in Table 1 Material Table 1 Common metals and properties used for implants Density (g/cc) Compresive strength (Mpa) Elastic modulas (Gpa) Toughness (Mpa) Titanium Stainless steel Co-cr-mo alloy editor@iaeme.com

Total knee replacement has become an acceptable method of treating severe arthritis of the knee. The operative procedure must be performed with precise skill and accuracy. Great care and importance is given while selecting a proper and suitable biocompatible material for fabricating an implant. To make a bio-compatible implant it is important to know where it is located in the body. For the structural mechanics of human body involving bones, tissues and organs, it is almost impossible to conduct mechanical experiments. The finite element model to simulate such mechanical experiments has thus become an effective tool. In this research, analysis of knee Implant is done which is designed according to the dimensions obtained from the STL file of knee joint and compared with the commercially available knee implant for three different bio-materials based on patient body weight acting on human body under different walking conditions. The patient specific knee implant is also analyzed for different flexion angles. Fabrication of designed and commercial knee implants is done using Fused Deposition Modeling RPT Process. 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS This chapter presents the results obtained after adopting the research methodolgy discussed in earlier chapter. The finite element analysis of the patient specific Knee implant is done under static condition for different Flexion angles viz 0,15,45,60 degrees. The zero degres of Flexion angle represents the normal standing condition of the human being.

CONCLUSIONS The aim of this research work is to do finite element analysis of patient specific knee implant and compare the stress analysis results with results of commercially available knee implant. Manufacturing of patient specfic knee implant and Commercial Knee implants Prototypes are done using FDM additive manufacturing process. Knee implant is designed by taking the dimensions from.stl file in CATIA software and analysis is performed in ansys software to determine the von-mises stress under various walking conditions. The values obtained are tabulated accordingly as mentioned in research and methodology. Following are the conclusions made from the Research Methodology adopted. For Proposed patient specific Knee implant, the von-misses stresses and deformation values obtained for different bio-materials under walking condition are as follows: For Ti-4A-l4V alloy, the maximum von-misses stress and total deformation values obtained are MPa and mm respectively. For SS-316L material, the maximum von-misses stress and total deformation values obtained are MPa and 0.02 mm respectively. For Commercially available Knee implant, the von-misses stresses and deformation values obtained for different bio-materials under walking condition are as follows: For Ti-4Al46V alloy, the maximum von-misses stress and total deformation values obtained are 31.55MPa and mm respectively. For SS-316L material, the maximum von-misses stress and total deformation values obtained are MPa and mm respectively. For Cr-Co-Mo alloy, the maximum von-misses stress and total deformation values obtained are 43.28MPa and 0.041mm respectively. From the first study (FEM analysis when knee is in normal position) it is clear that even under extreme loading conditions, the prosthesis is safe (values obtained are below allowable stress) and gives good results for all selected biomaterials - Ti-6Al- 4V, Co-Cr, SS-316L, UHMWPE editor@iaeme.com
9 B.Rajesh, L.Radhakrishna and K.Venkata Reddy At applied 5000 N load, least and maximum deformation values found for Cobalt alloy is mm and for Titanium alloy is respectively, similarly least and maximum equivalent stresses develop were Titanium alloy is MPa, whose allowable stress is 880 MPa and Cobalt alloy is MPa whose allowable stress is 612 MPa respectively. From the finite element analysis results obtained by rotating the designed knee implant at different flexion angles (15, 45, 60 degrees), it is observed that even if maximum load is applied i.e. 2500N the von misses stress values are obtained are MPa for Titanium Alloy and MPa for SS 316L Alloy and MPa for Co-Cr-Mo alloy which are less compared to maximum allowable stress of three bio-compatible materials. For the two designs which are analysed in the thesis work, von-mises stress values obtained indicate that, titanium alloy material is best sutible compared to Co-Cr-Mo alloy and SS 316L. From this study it is found that stress induced for all selected biomaterials Ti-6Al- 4v,and Co-Cr-Mo alloy and SS 316 L are with in allowable limit for maximum force and least deformation among all cases was found to be for Cobalt alloy. Fabrication of patient specific and Commercial Knee implants are done using fused deposition Modeling machine. The printing time and material consumed for patient specific and Commercial Knee implants are 25 min, 9.24 gms and 50 min, 18 gms. REFERENCE [1] A. Sreenivasa Rao and K Venkata Rao.
