Article Synopsis
- - Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is common among elderly individuals and can significantly affect their quality of life; medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is an effective treatment for specific knee issues.
- - This study utilized MR and CT data to create finite element analysis (FEA) models to examine how different lower limb alignments influence medial UKA, particularly focusing on stress distribution and strain variations in knee components.
- - Findings indicate that shifting the Mikulicz line (a reference line in knee alignment) affects stress on the knee compartments, with optimal alignment reducing the risk of tibial component fractures and lowering stress on the lateral compartment.
Purpose: The research objective of this study is to use finite element analysis to investigate the impact of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury on medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and explore whether patients with ACL injuries can undergo UKA.
Methods: Based on the morphology of the ACL, models of ACL with diameters ranging from 1 to 10mm are created. Finite element models of UKA include ACL absence and ACLs with different diameters.
