    A dacron velour interface effectively distributes load on the proximal tibia compared to rigid or cemented tibial components. This compliant interface may also inhibit tibial subsidence in orthopedic implants.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Engineering
    • Orthopedic Biomechanics
    • Medical Device Design

    Background:

    • Tibial component fixation is critical for total knee arthroplasty success.
    • Understanding load distribution and subsidence is essential for improving implant longevity.
    • Current fixation methods present challenges in load transfer and long-term stability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate load distribution between tibial surfaces and components using different interface materials.
    • To investigate the effect of interface compliance on tibial subsidence in vitro.
    • To assess the potential of a velour interface to mitigate subsidence.

    Main Methods:

    • Low-pressure sensitive Fujifilm was used to measure pressure distribution under axial loads up to 3,000 N.

  • Tested interfaces included rigid, dacron velour (compliant), and cemented.
  • In vitro cyclic axial loading simulated subsidence, with pressure patterns analyzed over time.

    • Main Results:

    • The velour interface demonstrated superior load distribution to the proximal tibia compared to rigid and cemented interfaces.
    • Increasing velour layers significantly increased contact points.
    • Subsidence occurred in vitro, with load transfer regions changing over time; velour showed potential to inhibit this.

    Conclusions:

    • Dacron velour offers improved load distribution for tibial components.
    • Compliant interfaces, like velour, may play a role in preventing tibial subsidence.
    • Further investigation into velour interfaces could lead to enhanced orthopedic implant stability.
