Original Abstract

Knee is the largest joint in the human body and among the most important to our daily lives. The knee is involved in virtually everything we do from walking to getting up from a chair to driving. It consists of the curved lower end of the thighbone (femur), which rotates on the curved upper end of the shinbone (tibia), and the kneecap (patella), which slides in a groove on the end of the thighbone. Thigh muscles give your knee strength, and large ligaments hold the thighbone and shinbone together. In total knee replacement surgery, injured or damaged parts of human knee joint are replaced with artificial parts designed to replicate the structure of natural knee.
