The mechanics of the knee and prosthesis design [PDF]

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1978
The mechanisms controlling and limiting movement and serving to transmit load between the femur and the tibia are discussed. Having accounted for the transmission of all components of force and couple across the joint and noted the load-bearing role of the menisci, some principles which might guide the design of knee prostheses are deduced.
