    abstract = {In this study, a comparison between two different approaches used to study a total knee prosthesis
is presented. In particular, the contact area of the components of knee prosthesis has been evaluated using
both a numerical and an experimental approach. The numerical analysis has been performed by FEM Models,
whereas the experimental study has been conducted using an ultrasonic-based method. To setup the FEM
simulations, CAD Models of the components of the prosthesis have been reconstructed using a classic reverse
engineering approach. Obtained results has allowed evaluating the contact area of the components of the
prosthesis and demonstrated a very good level of correlation between numerical and experimental data.}
