摘要

The current study aims to analyze the load transfer between bone and three different TPMS-stem implants designed for tibia-total knee replacement (TKR) application through an initial stage of recovery and after healing time under static and dynamic loading conditions. The TPMS-based scaffolds, Schwarz, diamond, and gyroid, are used for tibia-stem designs. The mechanical performance of TPMS-stem implants was investigated based on von Mises stress for various loading conditions using ANSYS 2021R1. The results showed that TPMS-stem implants increase the maximum von Mises stress on the bone surface under the tibia tray by 14–24% under static loading and 15–36% under dynamic loading compared to solid-stem implants. Also, TPMS-stem implants reduced the maximum von Mises stress in the stem tip area when static and dynamic loading were considered. Stress reductions of 21.3, 21, and 17% were obtained under static loading for diamond, Schwarz, and gyroid stem implants, respectively.
