Sustainable material for knee replacement using topsis method

Abstract

Sustainable materials are required for providing good design to products and proper application. It is economical, environmentally friendly and is widely accepted in society. The demand for knee replacement can be fulfilled with fulfilling aesthetic design and bio-compatibility of knee replacement. As the knee is the most important part of the body and the mobility of a person depends on its proper surgery and sustainable knee implants, in this paper an effort is made to design the knee implants using solid work design and the best implant material is selected Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. The selection criteria of sustainable implant materials are dependent on properties like mechanical property, bio-compatibility ness and cost of the material , which helps in selection of best material, where as solid work helps in designing, optimizing and simulating sustainable knee implant design before manufacturing. For analyzing the material selection process, durability, performance and patients ' requirements are taken care of. Case studies and examples demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in advancing orthopedic implant design and material selection, ultimately contributing to the improvement of patient care in the field of orthopedic surgery.
