BACKGROUND:There are studies on three-dimensional finite element analysis of total knee replacement, but few research concerns contact pressure and contact area inside and outside polyethylene liner of fixed prosthesis and rotating platform prosthesis in total knee replacement. OBJECTIVE:To explore the contact pressure and contact area inside and outside polyethylene liner of fixed platform prosthesis and rotating platform prosthesis in total knee replacement. METHODS:We established three-dimensional finite element models of fixed platform prosthesis and rotating platform prosthesis in total knee replacement and compared contact pressure and contact area inside and outside polyethylene liner of fixed platform prosthesis and rotating platform prosthesis in total knee replacement. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The peak contact pressure inside and outside polyethylene liner of fixed platform prosthesis and rotating platform prosthesis in total knee replacement was minimum at 0° of genuflex. The peak contact pressure inside polyethylene liner was higher than that outside polyethylene liner of fixed platform prosthesis and rotating platform prosthesis in total knee replacement at 0°-90° of genuflex (P<0.05). The peak contact pressure inside and outside polyethylene liner of fixed platform prosthesis was higher than that of rotating platform prosthesis in total knee replacement at 60°-120° of genuflex (P<0.05). The contact area inside and outside polyethylene liner of fixed platform prosthesis and rotating platform prosthesis in total knee replacement was maximum at 0° of genuflex. The contact area inside polyethylene liner of fixed platform prosthesis in total knee replacement was lower than that of outside at 0°-30° of genuflex (P<0.05). The contact area inside polyethylene liner of fixed platform prosthesis in total knee replacement was lower than that of outside at 0°-90° of genuflex (P<0.05). The contact area inside and outside polyethylene liner of fixed platform prosthesis was lower than that of rotating platform prosthesis in total knee replacement at 30°-120° of genuflex (P<0.05). These results suggested that peak contact pressure inside polyethylene liner of fixed and rotating platform prostheses was higher than that outside in total knee replacement, and the inside contact area was lower than that of outside. Inside and outside contact pressure of the rotating platform prosthesis was lower than that of fixed platform prosthesis. Inside and outside contact area of the rotating platform prosthesis was higher than that of fixed platform prosthesis.%背景：目前有研究对全膝关节置换进行三维有限元分析，但关于全膝关节置换固定平台假体和旋转平台假体聚乙烯衬垫内外侧接触压和接触面积的研究不多。目的：探讨全膝关节置换固定平台假体和旋转平台假体聚乙烯衬垫内外侧接触压和接触面积。方法：建立全膝关节置换固定平台假体和旋转平台假体的三维有限元模型，比较全膝关节置换固定平台假体和旋转平台假体聚乙烯衬垫内外侧接触压和接触面积。结果与结论：全膝关节置换固定平台假体和旋转平台假体的聚乙烯衬垫内侧和外侧接触压峰值以屈膝0°时最小，全膝关节置换固定平台假体和旋转平台假体聚乙烯衬垫内侧接触压峰值在屈膝0°-90°时均高于外侧接触压峰值(P<0.05)。全膝关节置换固定平台假体在屈膝60°-120°时聚乙烯衬垫内外侧接触压峰值均高于旋转平台内外侧接触压峰值(P<0.05)。全膝关节置换固定平台假体和旋转平台假体聚乙烯衬垫内侧和外侧接触面积以屈膝0°时最大。全膝关节置换固定平台假体聚乙烯衬垫内侧接触面积在屈膝0°-30°时均低于外侧接触面积(P<0.05)，全膝关节置换固定平台假体聚乙烯衬垫内侧接触面积在屈膝0°-90°时均低于外侧接触面积(P<0.05)。全膝关节置换固定平台假体在屈膝30°-120°时聚乙烯衬垫内外侧接触面积均低于旋转平台内外侧接触面积(P<0.05)。表明全膝关节置换固定平台假体和旋转平台假体内外侧聚乙烯衬垫内侧接触压峰值高于外侧接触压峰值，内侧接触面积低于外侧接触面积，旋转平台假体的内外侧接触压低于固定平台假体，旋转平台假体的内外侧接触面积高于固定平台假体。
