Increasing tendency of knee replacement which is related with aseptic loosening caused by excessive wear between articular surfaces makes it challenging research theme. By accepting this challenge, a new thought of multifunctional material has been introduced in this research. Knee implants has been performed to relieve pain and gain acceptable knee functions, however, the range of motion of the implanted knee is variable from person to person. The knee is the joint where the bones of the lower and upper legs meet. The largest joint in the human body, the knee moves like a hinge, allowing human to sit, squat, walk or jump. This joint is composed of three parts – lower end of the femur (thigh bone), upper end of the tibia (shin bone) and patella (knee cap). Knee joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two joints: one between the femur and tibia (tibiofemoral joint) and other between the femur and patella (patellofemoral joint). Present research deals with the dynamic evaluation of femoral component. CAD model of femoral component was created and analyzed to get specific results in terms of different stress and deformation for biomaterials SS L316 and Ti-6Al-4V. The obtained results are compared for better performance and mechanical solidity of femoral component.
