Forces used in the FE analyses for 48° flexion

48°
Medial force Fm (N) 1160
Lateral force FL (N) 773
Medial anterior–posterior force APm (N) −3
Lateral anterior–posterior force APl (N) −3
Patella–femoral force PF (N) 567
Internal–external moment IE (Nmm) −7029

Values were obtained from previous in vivo telemetric implant studies [4, 35], normalised in terms of body weight and then applied to the FE model for an assumed average body weight of 775 N
