It has long been recognised that wear analysis of total joint replacements is an important means in determining failure mechanisms, functionality and improving longevity of these devices. The standardised method for assessing wear volumes in such joints is through gravimetric means and it has been s

## Abstract A technique to quantify the restraining action of specific knee structures during anterior/posterior (A/P) tibial displacement tests in the goat knee that has a reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is described. Joint specimens were mounted in an instrumented test stand to mea
Bone-implant displacements can be caused by rigid body motion and by differences in material properties of the implant and bone. In the present study of the tibial component in total knee replacement, we tested a series of tibial component fixation designs to determine how certain design features in
