The strength criterion is used to evaluate the spherical contact pairs of the aviation structures. The strength criterion helps evaluate triaxial tension in the contact pair. Calculations reveal the acceptability of the suggested criterion. Santrauka Kontaktiniu poru stiprumui ivertinti taikomas stiprumo kriterijus, kuris naudojamas sudetingo itempiu būvio atvejais. Ši metodika leidžia skaičiavimuose atsisakyti empiriniu koeficientu. Gauti skaičiavimu rezultatai rodo kriterijaus priimtinuma, palyginti su eksperimentiniais.

AbstractArtificial hemiarthroplasty is one of the effective methods for the treatment of hip joint diseases, but the wear failure of the interface between the hemi hip joint material and articular cartilage restricts the life of the prosthesis. Therefore, it is important to explore the damage mechanism between the interfaces to prolong the life of the prosthesis and improve the life quality of the prosthesis replacement. In this paper, the creep and bio-tribological properties of cartilage against PEEK, CoCrMo alloy, and ceramic were studied, and the tribological differences between “hard–soft” and “soft–soft” contact were analyzed based on biomorphology. The results showed that with the increase of time in vitro, the thickness of the cartilage membrane decreased, the surface damage was aggravated, and the anti-creep ability of cartilage was weakened. Second, the creep resistance of the soft–soft contact pair was better than that of the hard–soft contact pair. Also, the greater the load and the longer the wear time, the more serious the cartilage damage. Among the three friction pairs, the cartilage in PEEK/articular cartilage was the least damaged, followed by CoCrMo alloy/articular cartilage, and the most damage was found in ceramic/articular, indicating that the soft–soft friction pair inflicted the least damage to the cartilage.

SummaryTreatment of canine hip dysplasia (CHD) via triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) is widely accepted as the treatment that best preserves the existing hip joint. TPO, however, has several important disadvantages. In an effort to avoid some of the difficulties associated with TPO an alternative method of creating acetabular ventroversion (AW) was sought. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of placement of a wedge in the sacroiliac (SI) joint on A W and to compare this to the effect of TPO on A W . On one hemipelvis a 30° pelvic osteotomy plate was used for TPO. The contralateral hemipelvis had a 28° SI wedge inserted into the SI joint. Pre- and postsurgical radiographs of each pelvis were taken and the angular measurements were recorded. On average, the 28° SI wedge resulted in 20.9° of A W, the 30° canine pelvic osteotomy plate resulted in 24.9° A W . Significant differences were not found (p >0.05) between the two techniques. Sacroiliac wedge rotation effectively creates A W and has several theoretical advantages when compared to TPO. The in vivo effects of sacroiliac wedge rotation should be studied in order to evaluate the clinical effect of the technique.Sacroiliac wedge rotation was tested as an alternative method to increase the angle of acetabular ventroversion. This technique effectively rotated the acetabulum and has several theoretical advantages when compared to triple pelvic osteotomy.

Snapping hip syndrome is a condition in which the predominant symptom is the snapping feelingaround the hip joint caused by a dynamic impingement between muscles or tendons and boneprominences. The etiology of the snapping hip types and consequently the therapeutic targets havebeen subjects of discussion and controversy along the years. A careful clinical history and physicalexamination is frequently enough for this disease diagnosis. Treatment is typically conservative,however when it is not successful surgical treatment is indicated, consisting on the snapping muscleor tendons lengthening. The authors review in this paper the current scientific literature about functionalanatomy, physiopathology, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of snapping hip.
