Abstract: This article is to develop a specialized artificial support structure for knee joint by sustaining not only knee joint load but also ankle joint load which is transfer to knee joint and also to give strength to tibia to reduce pain of patient and to reduce effort for work after total knee replacement surgery. In presently available brace, they only concentrated on knee joint loading and neglecting other loads such as load transfer from ankle joint to knee joint. Loading on knee joint is controlled then life of components and total knee replacement will be increased. To reduce stress on knee joint bracing is need to be introduced after the total knee replacement surgery, so that it should sustain all the external stress and loads without dislocation of brace for perfect alignment. Artificial support structure for knee joint model is generated in the software, “Creo Parametric 2.0” by developer PTC inc. Generated model is then exported to ANSYS 14.5 software for analysis. 6 materials are analysed on ANSYS.
