Abstract:

Based on the structure of the human medial meniscus, we designed a free bionic medial meniscus prosthesis to replace the irreparable meniscus in clinic treatment. The feasibility of the prosthesis was verified by a three-dimensional finite element analysis method. The data results show higher stresses in the meniscus prosthesis compared to the wholesome meniscus, with the region of high stress distribution in the medial middle and posterior in both models. The results of the study illustrate that the designed meniscus prosthesis has similar biomechanical properties to the healthy meniscus. The main advantage of the data results validating the prosthesis is that no supplementary fixation pattern is required, avoiding failure due to prosthetic fixation failure.

Key words: bionic engineering, meniscus, biomechanics, finite element analysis
