Background: Current total hip prosthesis lack an accurate individualized finite element model to assure an accurate fit, and further require amputation of a possibly healthy femoral neck. Methods: This research presents a new methodology for performing an automated three-dimensional finite element meshing for a new type of total hip prosthesis. The stress analysis for this new design, known as Non-stemmed Anatomical Total Hip Prosthesis, is based on the methodology proposed here. The merit of this method is that the automated meshing process can be produced by using ANSYS software alone, without the need for a complicated, self-developed meshing interface program. Results: This new methodology provides a smooth boundary around the contour of the femur and the interface between the femur and the Non-stemmed Anatomical Total Hip Prosthesis, as well as avoiding additional complications. This newly designed prosthesis involves minimal modification of the intact femoral neck alignment after total hip replacement, provided that the femoral neck is still healthy. The main body of this new prosthesis is a conical-shaped mask that tightly embraces the femoral neck. The bottom skirt of this mask contacts the greater and lesser trochanter in such a way that maintains the mask in the desired position using a screw through the axis of the femoral neck. Finite element stress analysis is performed to compare the stress distribution of the intact femur and the femur after implantation of the Non-stemmed Anatomical Total Hip Prosthesis. Conclusions: Hopefully, this new prosthesis will be the method of choice for patients who have healthy femoral necks, but sick femoral heads. Further research can focus on applying this new methodology to other bone structures. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic study, Level IV.

The aim of this study was to get precise normal values of the femoral neck angle (FNA) in support of developing an optimally functioning total hip prosthesis for medium and large dog breeds. Accordingly, two- and three-dimensional computed tomographic images of the anatomical structures of the proximal femora of 58, hip-dysplasia-free, mature dogs of medium and large breeds were studied. Based on the length of their femora the dogs were allocated to Group I (from 145 to 195 mm) and Group II (from 196 to 240 mm). The FNA was measured on each femur using multi-slice spiral computed tomography (CT). The two- and three-dimensional image data were processed as multi-planar and threedimensional reconstructions using Advantage Workstation software. The CT measurements revealed that Group I had an average femoral neck angle of 147.59° (min. 144.05°, max. 153.35°), while in Group II the average FNA was 147.46° (min. 141°, max. 154.35°). There was no significant correlation between the length of the femur and the FNA in either group. The optimal FNA for a total hip prosthesis is 147.5° for medium and large dog breeds.

A comparison of two- and three-dimensional methods for the determination of the orientation of total hip prostheses was made in a group of 57 patients. The acetabular inclination and the collum-diaphyseal angle measured on a.p. projections (2-D) were adequate in most cases for assessing how vertically the prosthetic component was inserted, but in individual cases with a high degree of version these measurements could be misleading. Anteversion measured in the transverse plane (2-D) was more sensitive to errors than planar anteversion measured as a rotation around the longest diameter of the ellipsoid projection of the acetabular opening, but it gave a rough estimate of the relation of the prosthetic components. Determination of the spatial (3-D) orientation of the components provides a precise estimate of the component relations.

In a clinical material of total hip prostheses, a study was performed of the range of femoral motion until impingement occurred between the neck of the femoral stem and the rim of the acetabular socket. The results were compared with the physiologic range of motion, and the clinically relevant motion restriction was measured. Restriction was most common in flexion. There was a correlation between the prosthetic design and the restriction due to impingement.

Climbing Stairs

In orthopedic surgery and particularly in total hip arthroplasty, The fixation of the implant is generally made by the surgical cement, constituted essentially by polymer (PMMA), It is necessary to know the strengths applied to the prosthetic articulation during the current activities exercised by the patient in their life, to know the distribution of the constraints in the system (bone - cement - implant).This study aims to analyze numerically using the finite element method, the effect of activities (dynamic loads) of the patient on the level and distribution of stresses generated in the components of total hip prosthesis. Five activities, the most frequently performed by the patient such as normal walking, the up and down stairs, sitting and up from chair, were selected for this study. For this purpose, a three-dimensional model of the total hip prosthesis has been developed. The results obtained from this model show that the total hip replacement components and especially the bone cement are more highly stressed during the process of climbing stairs. These excessively high loads can lead to damage of the cement and thus the loosening of the prosthesis.
