The knee is one of the most commonly injured joints in the human body. 3D FE modeling is a useful tool for understanding of the stress ‐ strain distributions within articular cartilage in response to external loads and investigating both the prevention of injury and the pathological degeneration of the joints. This paper propose 3‐D dynamic finite element (3‐DDFE) model based on the digital data set from the human Knee section. The analysis was constructed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the 3‐DDFE model as a potential Knee fracture investigatory technique. The fresh Computerized Topography (CT) scans were used for the Kneel analysis and the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images for the brain model. The 3‐DDFE analysis of human Knee would allow the assessment of the injurious effects of different impact conditions and enable the development of enhanced Knee fracture and protection criteria for human Knee.
