Short Stems

Introduction: The design of uncemented femoral stems for use in total hip arthroplasty has evolved. Several uncemented short stems have been developed with different bone fixations, shapes, or stem lengths. The literature analyzing the biomechanical performance of short to standard stem lengths is limited. The aim was to compare the stress repartition on a standard uncemented stem and a shortened uncemented femoral stem with the same design features. Material and methods: This finite element analysis assessed the stress repartition on two femoral components with the same design (uncemented, collared, proximal trapezoidal cross-section, and a tapered quadrangular distal stem) but with two different lengths. The shortened stem was shorter by 40 mm compared to the standard stem. The stress repartition was analysed according to the Von Mises criterion. Results: The stress repartition was similar for the standard and shorter stem without significant difference (p = 0.94). The mean Von Mises stress was 58.1 MPa [0.2; 154.1] for the standard stem and 57.2 MPa [0.03; 160.2] for the short stem. The distal part of the standard stem, which was removed in the short stem, had mean stress of 3.7 MPa [0.2; 7.0]. Conclusion: The finite element analysis found similar stress repartitions between a standard uncemented collared stem and a short, collared stem with the same design. A clinical study assessing the clinical outcomes and the bone remodelling with a collared short stem would be interesting to confirm these first promising results.

Abstract Recycling plastic waste can help reduce plastic waste, which is the world’s largest problem. The first solution is a plastic crusher machine, which converts plastic packaging into pellets, especially for plastics made from polyester, which is often used in bottle packaging. An integral part of the crushing machine is the crushing blade, which determines the design and analysis of the blade. The finite element analysis method is widely used in engineering analysis. Its results can provide useful information for the analysis of manufacturing processes. A rectangular blade and a star-shaped blade are the two types to consider. The analytical results obtained on the blade of the crusher machine in the rectangular shape that was given loads by 200 N, 400 N, and 600 N are 1.285 × 103 N/m2, 2.570 × 103 N/m2, and 3.855 × 103 N/m2, respectively. We obtained the displacements are 1.080 × 10-6 mm, 2.160 × 10-6 mm, and 3.241 × 10-6 mm, respectively. The maximum von mises stress result on consecutive star-shaped blades are 8.890 × 102 N/m2, 1.778 × 103 N/m2, and 2.667 × 103 N/m2. The displacement obtained are 1.211 × 10-6 mm, 2.422 × 10-6 mm, and 3.633 × 10-6 mm. The results of this analysis indicate that for the star blade, the shape is better than for the rectangular blade at the same time, and for the star blade, the stress is smaller than for the rectangular blade. Based on this simulation, the safety factor is 15, which means that it is more than 1, which means that it is safe.

The most common method for mandibular reconstructive surgery is the use of a Ti-6Al-4V fixation device and a fibular double barrel graft. This highly stiff fixation hardware (E = 112 GPa) often shields the bone graft (E = 20 GPa) from carrying the load, which may result in bone resorption. Highly stiff Ti-6Al-4V fixation hardware is also likely to concentrate stress in the fixation plate or at screw threads, possibly leading to hardware cracking or screw pull-out. As a solution for that, we have proposed and studied the effect of using a low stiffness, porous NiTi fixation device [1–4]. Although the stress in the fixation device is increased, using such low stiffness fixation hardware, is preferable to have an even higher stress on the graft in order to minimize the risk of resorption or hardware failure. We assume that preloading screws allows them to better engage the fixation hardware with the plate and the surrounding bone and causes an increased von Mises stress. The fixation device can be patient-specific and additively manufactured, such that the shape would match the outer surface of the cortical bone. In this study, we modeled a healthy cadaver mandible via CT-derived 3D surface data. The mandible was virtually resected in the molar region (M1−3). The model simulated the result of reconstructive surgery under the highest chewing loading regime (i.e., 526 N on first right molar tooth [5, 6]) where reconstruction was done with either Ti-6Al-4V fixation hardware or patient specific, stiffness-matched, porous NiTi fixation hardware. The calibration of the material properties for this simulation was done using experimentally obtained data (DSC and compression tests) of Ni-rich NiTi bulk samples. The analyzed term in the finite element analysis was stress distribution in the cortical and cancellous bone. Porous NiTi fixation devices were also produced using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) using the geometry of the aforementioned cadaver mandible. In this paper we have studied the effect of additional torque or preload on the performance of the fixation plates. The finite element analysis demonstrated that applying a preload to the screws increased the stress on the bone. Under similar levels of applied preload, the porous NiTi fixation device showed an increased level of von Mises stress in the bone, particularly in the graft. Additionally, the analysis indicated the higher level of stress on the bone surrounding the screws for the case of using NiTi, which could contribute to increasing screw stability. The fabricated patient-specific fixation hardware not only matched the shape of cortical bone but also contained the level of porosity that defines the appropriate modulus of elasticity.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine stress levels on supporting structures of implant-retained overdentures as a function of varying degrees of palatal coverage using finite element analysis modeling at different loading angles. Materials and Methods: ABAQUS®-software was used to perform finite element analysis on eight overdenture models with three and four implants and with and without palatal coverage designs. Loads were applied perpendicular and 45º to the implants. Von Mises stress was measured to determine bone stress. A one-way ANOVA determined which model caused the most stress to the maxillary bone. Results: Palatal coverage increased stress to anterior implant in three implant (p = 0.08) models but decreased stress to all implants in four implant models (p = 0.43). Distal implants received more stress than anterior implants for all models. There was no significant difference between a full palate and no palate coverage overdenture prosthesis when a bar was added under axial loading (p = 0.954). Under non-axial loading, a decrease in stress was noted with the bar in all areas except the anterior implant site. Conclusions: Palatal coverage may not be necessary when applying a pure axial load. The addition of a bar decreased stress at loading.

The Finite Element Analysis

Total hip replacement (THR) is a flourishing orthopaedic surgery which generating billion of dollars of revenue. The cost associated with the fabrication of implants has been increasing year by year and this phenomenon has burdened the patient with extra charges. Consequently, this study will focus on designing an accurate implant via implementing the reverse engineering of three dimensional morphological study based on a particular population. By using the finite element analysis, this study will assist to predict the outcome and could become a useful tool for pre-clinical testing of newly designed implant. A prototype is then fabricated using 316L stainless steel by applying investment casting techniques which reduce manufacturing cost without jeopardizing implant quality. The finite element analysis showed the maximum von Mises stress was 66.88 MPa proximally with a safety factor of 2.39 against endosteal fracture, and micromotion was 4.73 μm which promotes osseointegration. This method offers a fabrication process of cementless femoral stems with lower cost, subsequently helping patients, particularly those from non developed countries.

The aim of the present investigation was to calculate the stress distribution generated in the root dentine canal during mechanical rotation of five different NiTi endodontic instruments by means of a finite element analysis (FEA). Two conventional alloy NiTi instruments F360 25/04 and F6 Skytaper 25/06, in comparison to three heat treated alloys NiTI Hyflex CM 25/04, Protaper Next 25/06 and One Curve 25/06 were considered and analyzed. The instruments’ flexibility (reaction force) and geometrical features (cross section, conicity) were previously investigated. For each instrument, dentine root canals with two different elastic moduli(18 and 42 GPa) were simulated with defined apical ratios. Ten different CAD instrument models were created and their mechanical behaviors were analyzed by a 3D-FEA. Static structural analyses were performed with a non-failure condition, since a linear elastic behavior was assumed for all components. All the instruments generated a stress area concentration in correspondence to the root canal curvature at approx. 7 mm from the apex. The maximum values were found when instruments were analyzed in the highest elastic modulus dentine canal. Strain and von Mises stress patterns showed a higher concentration in the first part of curved radius of all the instruments. Conventional Ni-Ti endodontic instruments demonstrated higher stress magnitudes, regardless of the conicity of 4% and 6%, and they showed the highest von Mises stress values in sound, as well as in mineralized dentine canals. Heat-treated endodontic instruments with higher flexibility values showed a reduced stress concentration map. Hyflex CM 25/04 displayed the lowest von Mises stress values of, respectively, 35.73 and 44.30 GPa for sound and mineralized dentine. The mechanical behavior of all rotary endodontic instruments was influenced by the different elastic moduli and by the dentine canal rigidity.

Calibration curves of a multi-component dynamometer is of essence in machining operations in a lathe machine as they serve to provide values of force and stress components for cutting tool development and optimization. In this study, finite element analysis has been used to obtain the deflection and stress response of a two component cutting tool lathe dynamometer, for turning operation, when the cutting tool is subjected to cutting and thrust forces from 98.1N to 686.7N (10 to 70kg-wts), at intervals of 98.1N(10kg-wt). By obtaining the governing equation, modeling the dynamometer assembly, defining boundary conditions, generating the assembly mesh, and simulating in Inventor Professional; horizontal and vertical components of deflection by the dynamometer were read off for three different loading scenarios. For these three loading scenarios, calibration plots by experiment compared with plots obtained from simulation by finite element analysis gave accuracies of 79%, 95%, 84% and 36%, 57%, 63% for vertical and horizontal deflections respectively. Also, plots of horizontal and vertical components of Von Mises stress against applied forces were obtained.

In order to obtain a higher pressure capacity for the high-pressure die with a larger sample cavity, two types of two-layer split dies with a round cylinder and a quadrate cylinder were designed based on the conventional belt-type die. Finite element analysis was performed to investigate the stress distributions and pressure capacities of the high-pressure dies using a derived Mohr–Coulomb criterion and the von Mises criterion for the cylinder and supporting rings, respectively. As predicted by the finite element analysis results, in the two-layer split dies with a round cylinder, the stress state of the cylinder can be only slightly improved; and the von Mises stress of the first layer supporting ring can be hardly decreased. However, in the two-layer split dies with a quadrate cylinder and sample cavity, the stress state of the cylinder can be remarkably improved. Simultaneously, the von Mises stress of the supporting rings, especially for the first-layer supporting ring, can be also effectively decreased. The pressure capacities of the two-layer split dies with a round cylinder and a quadrate cylinder are 16.5% and 63.9% higher with respect to the conventional belt-type die.

Purpose The internal fixation plate of bone fractures by using polylactic acid (PLA) has attracted the attention of many researchers, as it is biodegradable and biocompatible to the human body. However, its brittleness has led to implant fracture. On the contrary, polypropylene carbonate (PPC), which is also biodegradable and biocompatible, has an excellent elongation at break. The purpose of this paper is to compare the PLA fixation plate with the new fixation plate made up of PLA/PPC blends by using finite element analysis (FEA). Design/methodology/approach The mandible bone from CT data set and fixation plate was designed by using the MIMICS, Amira and Solidworks softwares. Abaqus software was used for FEA of PLA/PPC fixation plate applied on the fractured mandible bone. A model of mandibular bone with a fracture in the body was subjected to incisor load. The analysis was run to determine the von Mises stress, elongation of the fixation plate and the displacement of the fractured gap of PLA/PPC blends fixation plate. Findings The von Mises stress predicted that all the blend compositions were safe to be used as a fixation plate since the stress values were less than the yield strength. In addition, the stress value of the fixation plate was gradually decreased up to 20 percent when the amount of PPC increased to 30 percent. This indicates that the stress shielding effect was successfully reduced. The elongation of the fixation plate was gradually increased from 11.54 to 12.55 µm as the amount of PPC in the blends increased from 0 to 30 percent, thereby illustrating that the flexibility of the fixation plate was improved by the addition of PPC. Finally, the measured displacement of the fractured gap for all compositions of PLA/PPC blends fixation plate is less than 150 µm, which proves the likely success of fracture fixation by using the PLA/PPC blends. Research limitations/implications An optimum solution of PLA/PPC blends and another new material such as compatibilizer need to be introduced in the blends in order to improve the performance of PLA/PPC blends as a new material for a fixation plate. Besides, by using the same method of producing PLA/PPC blends, longer durations for in vitro degradation of PLA/PPC blends are essential to further understand the degradation behavior of the blends applied in the human body. Finally, it is also important to further test the mechanical strength of PLA/PPC blends during the degradation period to know the current strength of the implant in the healing process of the bone. Practical implications PLA fixation plate and screw can commercially be used in CMF surgery since they reduce cost because of the elimination of secondary surgery to remove the fixation plate and screw after the healing process. Social implications It is hoped that the advantages of this research will ensure the market of PLA product to continue expanding in medical application. Originality/value This study is one of the alternative ways for the biomedical researchers to improve the elongation break of PLA. Currently, many researchers focus on polymeric materials such as PLA, poly(glycolic) acid and polydioxanone blends, which were extensively being used in CMF surgery. However, the work on PLA/PPC blends to be used as one of the materials for the CMF fixation plate is very limited, if any. PPC, the proposed material for this research, will improve the mechanical performance of PLA fixation plate and screw to become more sustainable and flexible when applied on human mandible bone.

AbstractThis paper aims at assessing the influence of the bone ornamentation and, specifically, the associated loss of bone mass on the mechanical response of the crocodylomorph osteoderms. To this end, we have performed three-dimensional (3D) modeling and a finite element analysis on a sample that includes both extant dry bones and well-preserved fossils tracing back to the Late Triassic. We simulated an external attack under various angles on the apical surface of each osteoderm and further repeated the simulation on an equivalent set of smoothed 3D-modeled osteoderms. The comparative results indicated that the presence of an apical sculpture has no significant influence on the von Mises stress distribution in the osteoderm volume, although it produces a slight increase in its numerical score. Moreover, performing parametric analyses, we showed that the Young's modulus of the osteoderm, which may vary depending on the bone porosity, the collagen fiber orientation, or the calcification density, has no impact on the von Mises stress distribution inside the osteoderm volume. As the crocodylomorph bone ornamentation is continuously remodeled by pit resorption and secondary bone deposition, we assume that the apical sculpture may be the outcome of a trade-off between the bone mechanical resistance and the involvement in physiological functions. These physiological functions are indeed based on the setup of a bone superficial vessel network and/or the recurrent release of mineral elements into the plasma: heat transfers during basking and respiratory acidosis buffering during prolonged apnea in neosuchians and teleosaurids; compensatory homeostasis in response to general calcium deficiencies. On a general morphological basis, the osteoderm geometric variability within our sample leads us to assess that the global osteoderm geometry (whether square or rectangular) does not influence the von Mises stress, whereas the presence of a dorsal keel would somewhat reduce the stress along the vertical axis.
