The total replacement of knee joint which is one of the treatment methods of destructed knee toggles with high success precentage in way we have known it in last years, has a 120 – year – old development of surgical technologies, biomechanical concepts and material studies. Whereas the knee joint is the most complex bearing or carrying toggle of human body, it is often used as the object of biomechanical studies. The development of optimal artificial toggle routes to keep all functions of knee joint by a surgical implant with the simpliest construction. Its main attributes are the following ones: movement, stability and painlessness, of course. Present alloplasties of knee joiint confirm the superiority of clinical usage of condilary replacements which mostly route to the natural shape of knee and to cementless application. On the other hand the worldwide results are short – term activities to define clear prediction of these new progressive methods. This study is introductory research on the Istitute of mechanics of solid, mechatronics and biomechanics in VUT Brno. Therefore it is concentrated for building geometrical model. System of knee joint consist of distal part of femur, proximal part of tibia, and total knee replacement. Introductory computation was make.
