Abstract

Ostheochondral defects are a lesion on the articular cartilage which happened due to severe twisted knee or a sudden direct impact on the knee during sporting activities. Since, the treatments for this type of injuries which is replacing the articular cartilage with Titanium Alloy has too many disadvantages had caused the researchers to develop alternative treatment of scaffolding application. However, as the result, there were too many scaffold designs without a clear conscious on what kind of design suits the best. Therefore, as a result from this conflict, a program to assist in determining the design has been developed by using Microsoft Visual Basic programming tools. Scaffolds, which are required to have porous structure, were designed with the aid of Solidworks. By using examples of four simple scaffolds, this program will match the health condition and lifestyle of the patient with the design that is calculated to be fitting based on the clarification made in the program. However, due to many flaws found during the development, areas such as using a web based programming tools and proper analysis have been suggested for future study improvements.
