•Modelling the bone-implant interface with FE software is challenging
• The interference fit may change during insertion due to bone damage
• FE parameters can be optimised to reflect friction behaviour at the interface

A finite element model for investigating the influence of keel design and position on unicompartmental knee replacement cementless tibial component fixation
The cementless Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Replacement (OUKR) tibial component relies on an interference fit to achieve initial fixation. The behavio…
