    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Knee joint biomechanics are fundamental to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) rationale.
    • Patient function, prosthesis design, and surgical techniques are influenced by biomechanical principles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine knee biomechanics in relation to TKA.
    • To identify key factors influencing TKA outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of biomechanical principles relevant to knee joint function.
    • Analysis of factors including patient function, prosthesis design, cruciate ligament retention, alignment, and tibial component fixation.

    Main Results:

    • Knee biomechanics directly impact TKA design and patient outcomes.
    • Understanding joint loading, stress distribution, and bone response is vital.

    Conclusions:

    • Improved understanding of knee biomechanics can enhance TKA function.
    • Optimizing biomechanical principles can lead to greater implant longevity.
