description The main purpose of the article is to describe the methodology used for multi-criteria optimization of the geometric features of the orthopedic implant used for the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament located in the knee joint. The methodology includes: 1. Method of development of the bones of the knee joint model; 2. Method of multi-criteria optimization of the geometric features of the orthopedic implant using an artificial immune system, the objective function and the Pareto front; 3. Expert evaluation method based on forms. The work confirmed that the assumed thesis, a multi-criteria optimization using an artificial immune system, which is a specially defined objective function, and the Pareto method, which allows to determine the geometrical features of the implant, will lead to fulfill optimal blood perfusion and sufficient strength properties of the implant simultaneously. We conclude that the described methodology allowed to achieve the optimal geometrical features of the orthopedic implant used for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament located in the knee joint.
