Abstract
The paper deals with contact pressure analysis on two constructional types of modern type of knee prothesis - the unicondylar knee replacement. Contact pressure is analysed in two ways, the first is experimental using pressure sensitive Pressurex® films, and the second approach is numerical analysis made in FEM software package ANSYS Multiphysics 10. Results from both approaches are confronted and at the end there's judged what type of partial knee prothesis is more suitable for use.
