Effect of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene thickness on contact mechanics in total knee replacement

Abstract One of the important design parameters in current knee joint replacements is the thickness of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) tibial insert, yet there is no clear definition of the upper limit of the ‘thick’ polyethylene insert. Using one design knee implant and subjec...
