, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Farahmand, Farzam (Supervisor) ; Farkhondeh, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
Knee arthritis is a painful disease from which millions of people around the world are suffering. One of the main causes of osteoarthritis and joint damage that starts from a young age, is that bones around the knee are not in a straight line. As a result, this situation causes additional pressure to the knee. This should be corrected with surgery. There are two procedures for this operation, a conventional method and a customized method. In conventional method, surgical planning is based on 2d X-ray images and plates are formed and fixed approximately at the desired location. This method is not precise enough and may cause problems for the patient. A new developing method, is that all the...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Abdekhodaei, Mohammad Jafar (Supervisor)
Abstract
Osteoarthritis has always been one of the most common diseases in middle age because it causes severe pain and inflammation in the joints of the body. Cartilage tissue does not have the ability to repair itself. For this reason, fabricating and designing the most efficient, least-expensive, and most convenient methods for the treatment of cartilage defects is always an important issue. Today, there are surgical and injectable methods to relieve pain and initiate the body's natural healing response. But due to the many disadvantages and limitations of these methods, tissue engineering science has turned to modifying these methods or providing new methods. One of these methods is the use of...
