Design of an artificial high flexion knee

The total knee arthroplasty is the end stage surgical procedure for pain relief in degenerative diseases like arthritis. There are many models, which had been designed so far in 5 to 6 decades of arthroplasty history. This research is aimed to design an artificial knee for Indian conditions, which emphasizes the high flexion-extension range of over 125 which would provide the comfort of squatting even after the total knee replacement [TKR]. The research also aims in designing a cost effective knee implant which would also suit the Indian economic conditions.
