Metal orthopedic implants have been used for many decades with great success. Replacement joints
and plates for bone fractures are usually made from biocompatible material. Through recent
advancements in bio-modeling, custom orthopedic implants can be designed. Finite element
analyses (FEA), in the design implant a near optimal fit between the patients in bone. In this paper
analysis of custom made implant of lower limb is conducted. A case study of patient lower limb data
of a bone is taken from x-ray. The cad model is prepared from the modeling software and analysis
is conducted using the data calculated and data analyzed by using FEA software. The comparison
of analytical and actual data was compared.
