ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Three dimensional finite element analysis is widely used in orthopedics, but research in the knee flexion movement is not much.OBJECTIVE:
To analyze biomechanical properties of knee flexion using finite element analysis.METHODS:
Three dimensional finite element models and models of knee flexion at 30 degrees, 60 degrees and 120 degrees were established. Femoral forward movement, femur inward movement, tibia internal rotation and tibia vara were analyzed at different flexion angles. RESULTS ANDCONCLUSION:
(1) When knee flexion was at 30 degrees, 60 degrees and 120 degrees, the femur had backward movement. The backward movement value was larger at 60 degrees than at 30 and 120 degrees (P0.05). (2) The femur had outward movement at 30 degrees, and inward movement at 120 degrees. The inward movement value was significantly larger at 120 degrees than at 30 and 60 degrees (P0.05). (3) Tibia internal rotation was not significantly different at 30, 60 and 120 degrees of flexion (P>0.05). (4) Tibia vara was found at 30, 60 and 120 degrees of flexion, but the tibia vara was not obvious at 120 degrees. The tibia vara was maximum at 60 degrees, and significantly higher than that at 120 degrees (P0.05). (5) These findings verify that backward movement was most obvious at 60 degrees. Femur inward movement was most large at 120 degrees. Tibia internal rotation was noticeable at 30 and 120 degrees. Tibia vara was remarkable at 60 degrees.
