This project aims to improve the design of knee prostheses by analyzing biomechanical factors that affect their longevity. Using Finite Element Analysis, it seeks to optimize prosthesis geometry and alignment to enhance performance and reduce wear.
Total knee replacement (TKR) is one of the most expensive prosthetic surgery, causing large costs to European countries.
In Europe, an average of 107 knee prostheses per 100.000 inhabitants was needed in 2008, generating the need of 335.000 knee prostheses.
This number is increasing in European countries, being estimated that the global number will double each year.
Considering an average cost of 10.000 euros/surgery in the EuroArea, it is then estimated a global cost of around 3883 M euros per…
