Development of a knee joint magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based model for finite element analysis (FEA) applications

Key Points

• The aim is to develop a detailed MRI-based finite element analysis model of the healthy human knee.
• Created a finite element analysis model using MRI data of the knee joint structures.
• Incorporated literature-based ligament attachment points.
• Focused on modeling bones, cartilage, menisci, and tendons.
• The model provides a comprehensive representation of the knee joint.
• It serves as a foundation for future biomechanical studies.
• Facilitates surgical planning and personalized treatment simulations.
