| Popis: | The total knee arthroplasty is the end stage surgical procedure for pain relief in degenerative diseases like arthritis. There are many models, which had been designed so far in 5 to 6 decades of arthroplasty history. This research is aimed to design an artificial knee for Indian conditions, which emphasizes the high flexion-extension range of over 125 which would provide the comfort of squatting even after the total knee replacement [TKR]. The research also aims in designing a cost effective knee implant which would also suit the Indian economic conditions. |
