Evaluating the effects of material properties of artificial meniscal implant in the human knee joint using finite element analysis

Artificial meniscal implants may replace severely injured meniscus and restore the normal functionality of the knee joint. Implant material stiffness and shape influence the longevity of implantations. This study, using 3D finite element analysis, aimed to evaluate the effects of material stiffness...
