Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional reconstruction is a foundation of knee joint stimulation. There are few reports regarding structural subdivision and reconstruction of ligament surrounding joint, cartilage, and meniscus.
OBJECTIVE: To reconstruct a 3D knee model with ligments, cartilage and meniscus based on previous knee joint anatomy using CT and MRI data.
METHODS: CT and MRI data of 1 adult knee joint were harvested and import in Mimics10.1 to reconstruct the structures such as bone, atricular cartilage, meniscus and ligaments of knee joint. The registration was performed with reverse-engineering software Geomagic 8.
RESULTS AND COCNLUSION: 3D knee joint model with bone, meniscus, ligaments and articular cartilage was reconstructed, which lays a foundation for finite element analysis of corresponding knee joint.
