A Computational Analysis of Squeaking Hip Prostheses
نویسندگان
چکیده
A ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) hip prosthesis with clearance is modeled as a multibody dynamics system for the purpose of studying hip squeaking. A continuous contact force model provides the intrajoint forces developed at the hip joint. Friction effects due to the relative motion are also considered. A FFT analysis of the audible sounds from CoC hip acceleration is carried out to analyze hip squeaking. The effects of friction, hip implant size, and the head initial position on hip squeaking and the trajectory of femoral head are analyzed and discussed. It was shown that the causes of hip squeaking are stick/slip, friction-induced vibration, and the femoral head angular speed and force changes. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4028109]

A review of squeaking in ceramic total hip prostheses
The occurrence of audible squeaking in some patients with ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) hip prostheses is a cause for concern. Great effort has been dedicated to understand the mechanics of the hip squeaking to gain a deeper insight into factors contributing to sound emission from CoC hip articulation. Disruption of fluid-film lubrication and friction were reported as the main potential cause, while...
متن کاملThe damping effect of cement as a potential mitigation factor of squeaking in ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty
OBJECTIVES Studies reporting specifically on squeaking in total hip arthroplasty have focused on cementless, and not on hybrid, fixation. We hypothesised that the cement mantle of the femur might have a damping effect on the sound transmitted through the metal stem. The objective of this study was to test the effect of cement on sound propagation along different stem designs and under different...
متن کاملAn estimation of the incidence of squeaking and revision surgery for squeaking in ceramic-on-ceramic total hip replacement: a meta-analysis and report from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Registry.
Squeaking arising from a ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) total hip replacement (THR) may cause patient concern and in some cases causes patients to seek revision surgery. We performed a meta-analysis to determine the incidence of squeaking and the incidence of revision surgery for squeaking. A total of 43 studies including 16,828 CoC THR that reported squeaking, or revision for squeaking, were entered...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of the Incidence and Risk Factors for Squeaking after Primary Ceramic-on-ceramic Total Hip Arthroplasty in Asian Patients
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the squeaking incidence and risk factors after primary ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty (THA) in Asian patients using meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a meta-analysis of published data on the squeaking incidence and risk factors from 2000 to 2013. Eight studies in Asians were analyzed for both squeaking incidence and ri...
متن کاملHip Squeaking
The aim of the study was to analyze the incidence of squeaking with ceramic-onceramic total hip arthroplasty (THA) after 10 years of follow-up and the potential complications that could occur related to this phenomenon. One hundred THAs implanted between November 1999 and December 2000 were evaluated. Incidence of squeaking was investigated clinically with a questionnaire. Implant positioning w...
