The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of anterior portion of anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, anterior and deep portions of medial collateral ligament and the tibio-femoral articular contacts on passive knee motion. A well-accepted reference model for a normal tibio-femoral joint is reconstructed from the literature. The proposed three-dimensional dynamic tibio-femoral model includes the isometric fascicles, ligament bundles and irregularly shaped medial-lateral contact surfaces. With the approach we aim to analyze bone shape and ligament related abnormalities of knee kinematics. The rotations, translations and the contact forces during passive knee flexion were compared against a reference model and the results were found in close accordance. This study demonstrated that isometric ligament bundles play an important role in understanding the femur shape from contact points on tibia. Femoral condyles are not necessarily spherical. The surgical treatments should consider both ligament bundle lengths and contact surface geometries to achieve a problem free knee kinematics after a knee surgery.
