| Abstract | Knee is the largest joint in the human body and it has been heavily used, caused to the osteoarthritis. When the knee is more degenerate, it cause pain in every movement. The treatment has several methods such as Knee Arthroscopic Surgery, High Tibial Osteotomy and Total Knee Arthroplasty. This research aims to evaluate the strain distribution on the Thai femoral bone with the normal leg, bow-leg and inserted total knee prosthesis under the daily activities, as walking and stair-climbing by finite element analysis. The results were compared the maximum equivalent of total strain on the medial and lateral side in three cases. The results showed that the ratio of strain distribution between medial and lateral side on Thai femur with normal bone, varus bone and bone inserted TKA under walking condition are 67.27%, 84.01% and 70.68% respectively; and 60.96%, 82.74% and 68.19% respectively under stair-climbing condition. After the surgery, the ratio of strain distribution on the varus femoral bone decreased and approached that of normal femoral bone. |
