Abstract：3D reconstruction of knee joint surface is achieved according to the patient’s CT scan images of the artificial cartilage defects of the knee with the help of medical image processing software Mimics as well as the reverse engineering software Imageware. Then a second design of the reconstructed 3D model is conducted with Solidworks software, forming a solid model of the individualized artificial knee joint surface, which is transferred to FEA software ANSYS for finite element analysis in order to evaluate the design effect of the individualized artificial knee joint surface. This design is able to produce privately-tailored artificial knee joint products for patients.
