The paper deals with a simulation by means of finite method of a natural lower limb after a knee joint arthroplasty in a full extension. Our last static model serving as a starting point for our future dynamic analysis is presented now. Aside a total knee endoprosthesis Medin Modular provided by MedinOrthopedics, a.s., two long bones, femur and tibia were used. Compared with our former results, this model gives reduced stress and contact pressures values which were given by more realistic ankle and hip joint definition. Their distributions also correspond better the experimental findings.
