To study the examination of stress and tribological properties in relation to an artificial human knee joint

Abstract

The examination of stress and tribological properties in artificial human knee joints is a crucial aspect of biomedical engineering and orthopaedics. This study highlights the importance of understanding the mechanical stresses and tribological interactions within these artificial knee joints, with a focus on improving their longevity and patient satisfaction. Stress analysis is essential to ensure that artificial knee joints can with stand the complex mechanical forces encountered during daily activities, reducing the risk of component failures and bone damage, ultimately leading to fewer revision surgeries. The main objective of the study is to examination of stress and tribological properties in relation to an artificial human knee joint. In this study we use secondary research approach. Therefore, data has been collected from several journals, researches, articles, books, library data, organizational reports, websites, etc. to fulfil the objective of this study. Moreover, tribological properties, such as friction, wear, and lubrication, play a pivotal role in the performance and durability of artificial knee joints. Achieving low friction, minimal wear, and proper lubrication is crucial for preventing complications and ensuring patient comfort. The choice of materials, including metal-polymer combinations, is critical for the success of knee replacement surgeries. Advancements in technology, such as robotic-assisted procedures, have improved precision, recovery times, and reduced complications. However, the longevity of artificial knee joints depends on patient-specific factors and surgical quality. In this, research field has significantly advanced the understanding and treatment of knee joint diseases and injuries, but ongoing innovation and multidisciplinary collaboration are needed to further enhance patient quality of life.
