High-Performance $20 Artificial Knee Could Help Thousands in Developing Countries

Currently under test, this low-cost polymer artificial knee has a performance much closer to the $10000-$100000 titanium-based models than common one-axis low-cost knees. A team at Stanford University built this new knee by studying high-end models and aimed at re-creating something similar using low-cost materials. The new knee, named JaipurKnee, is currently under testing in India and its creators believe that they could still drive the cost down. Press Release
