Investigation of creep mechanical characteristics of femoral prostheses by simulated hip replacement
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to provide creep mechanical parameters for the clinical application of both traditional and reserved anatomy femoral artificial joint replacements, simulated hip replacement femoral stress relaxation and creep experiments were performed. Twenty-four corpse femoral specimens were obtained, with 8 specimens being randomly assigned to the control group and 8 specimens being randomly assigned to the traditional prosthesis group. Our results showed that the retaining femoral neck prosthesis and traditional prosthesis groups have different stress relaxation and creep mechanical properties.

Acrylic cement creeps but does not allow much subsidence of femoral stems.
It has been suggested that the endurance of cemented femoral reconstructions in total hip arthroplasty is affected by the creep of acrylic cement, but it is not known to what extent cement creeps under loading conditions in vivo, or how this affects load transfer. We have simulated the long-term creep properties of acrylic cement in finite-element models of femoral stem constructs and analysed ...
متن کاملFemoral stem wear in cemented total hip replacement.
The great success of cemented total hip replacement to treat patients with endstage osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis has been well documented. However, its long-term survivorship has been compromised by progressive development of aseptic loosening, and few hip prostheses could survive beyond 25 years. Aseptic loosening is mainly attributed to bone resorption which is activated by an in-vivo mac...
متن کاملTrends of mechanical consequences and modeling of a fibrous membrane around femoral hip prostheses.
In the present study, the effects of a fibrous membrane between cement and bone in a femoral total hip replacement were investigated. The study involved the problem of modeling this fibrous membrane in finite-element analyses, and its global consequences for the load-transfer mechanism and its resulting stress patterns. A finite-element model was developed, suitable to describe nonlinear contac...
متن کاملStress shielding effects of two prosthetic groups after total hip joint simulation replacement
OBJECTIVE The study aims to compare the stress shielding effects of implantable anatomical and traditional prostheses after in vitro total hip joint replacement simulation. The study serves as a biomechanical basis for novel artificial prostheses and for clinical hip joint replacements. METHODS Sixteen femoral specimens from adult male corpses were randomly divided into two groups: the tradit...
متن کاملA Morlet wavelet signal analysis with a Daubechies filter for the wear assessment of hip prostheses coated with diamond-like carbon by triboadhesion.
In the present work, based on high frequency wavelet analysis of dynamic signals of mechanical systems, a multiple-resolution wavelet analysis is carried out, to the signal obtained from an accelerometer mounted on the structure of a hip prosthesis wearing test device. The prostheses employed had a femoral head made of aluminum oxide and the acetabular cup of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyeth...
