      Materials for Knee Implant Femoral Component.

AB  - Total knee replacement (TKR) is a remarkable achievement in biomedical science 
      that enhances human life. However, human beings still suffer from 
      knee-joint-related problems such as aseptic loosening caused by excessive wear 
      between articular surfaces, stress-shielding of the bone by prosthesis, and soft 
      tissue development in the interface of bone and implant due to inappropriate 
      selection of TKR material. The choice of most suitable materials for the femoral 
      component of TKR is a critical decision; therefore, in this research paper, a 
      hybrid multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) tactic is applied using the 
      degree of membership (DoM) technique with a varied system, using the weighted sum 
      method (WSM), the weighted product method (WPM), the weighted aggregated sum 
      product assessment method (WASPAS), an evaluation based on distance from average 
      solution (EDAS), and a technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal 
      solution (TOPSIS). The weights of importance are assigned to different criteria 
      by the equal weights method (EWM). Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is conducted 
      to check the solidity of the projected tactic. The weights of importance are 
      varied using the entropy weights technique (EWT) and the standard deviation 
      method (SDM). The projected hybrid MCDM methodology is simple, reliable and 
      valuable for a conflicting decision-making environment.
