Bones play an integral role in human survival. Damage to the knee joint has prompted orthopaedic specialists to develop implants as one of the solutions. In this study, Ti6Al4V as the implant material was optimised to determine and achieve the optimum implant condition based on the loading applied and the total deformation occurred. The optimisation results showed that the activity of walking downstairs resulted in the highest average of total deformation (19345 mm), followed by walking (15984 mm) and jumping (2.94 mm). © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2018.
