Although drug intake can slow down progression, total knee arthroplasty has been the gold standard for the treatment of this disease. This surgical procedure involves replacing the tibiofemoral joint with an implant. The most common implants used for this require the removal of either the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) alone or both cruciate ligaments which alters the native knee joint mechanics. Bi-cruciate-retaining implants have been developed but not frequently used due to the complexity of the procedure and the occurrences of intraoperative failures such as ACL and tibial eminence rupture. In this study, a knee joint implant was modified to have a bone graft that should aid in ACL reconstruction. The mechanical behavior of the bone graft was studied through finite element analysis (FEA). The results show that the peak Christensen safety factor for cortical bone is 0.021 while the maximum shear stress of the cancellous bone is 3 MPa which signifies that the cancellous bone could fail when subjected to the ACL loads, depending on the graft shear strength which could vary depending on the graft source, while cortical bone could withstand the walking load. It would be necessary to optimize the bone graft geometry for stress distribution as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of bone healing prior to implementation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computation11080151","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,2]],"date-time":"2023-08-02T11:04:38Z","timestamp":1690974278000},"page":"151","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Finite Element Analysis of ACL Reconstruction-Compatible Knee Implant Design with Bone Graft Component"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Ferdinand Lauren F.","family":"Carpena","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Map\u00faa University, Manila 1002, Philippines"},{"name":"School of Chemical, Biological, and Materials Engineering and Sciences, Map\u00faa University, Manila 1002, Philippines"}]},{"given":"Lemmuel L.","family":"Tayo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemical, Biological, and Materials Engineering and Sciences, Map\u00faa University, Manila 1002, Philippines"},{"name":"Department of Biology, School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Map\u00faa University, Makati 1200, Philippines"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.12968\/bjha.2018.12.1.6","article-title":"Anatomy and physiology, 5.
