Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Total knee replacement (TKR) alleviates pain in end-stage knee arthritis but offers variable range of motion.
  • Existing TKR implants have limitations in optimizing patient function and kinematics.
  • Patient-specific solutions are being explored to enhance TKR outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present methods and a workflow for creating customized total knee replacement implants.
  • To explore the potential of patient-specific implants for improving TKR kinematics and function.

Main Methods:

  • Creating patient-specific 3D knee models from MRI or CT data using image processing.
  • Utilizing 3D models for patient-specific implant design and biomechanical analysis.
  • Developing patient-specific musculoskeletal lower limb models to predict forces and wear.

Main Results:

  • 3D knee models enable patient-specific implant design and surgical planning.
  • Patient-specific models can predict in vivo biomechanical performance, including joint forces and polyethylene wear.
  • Feasibility of creating customized TKR implants is demonstrated.

Conclusions:

  • Customized TKR implants, designed using patient-specific 3D models, offer a potential advancement over standard implants.
  • This approach facilitates improved TKR kinematics and functional outcomes.
  • Personalized implant design represents a significant step towards optimizing TKR surgery.
