Abstract

The objective of this paper is to numerically simulate the behaviour of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructed knee using interference screw fixation under a single cycle loading or a cyclic loading test and to compare the numerical results with experimental tests using porcine samples of knee joint. A hyper-elastic material model was used to model the tendon graft and evaluate its elongation during continuous and cyclic tensile loading. The rigidity of the interference screw fixation was also examined using the finite element based numerical model. The finite element model uses the benefit of an anatomical 3D geometry of the tibial bone and tendon graft which was created from a CT scan of a patient.
