Stress concentration is one of the main mechanical problems leading to the failure of clinical application for osteointegrated implant of percutaneous osteointegrated prosthesis, which is especially marked for higher amputated leg prosthesis. Traditionally design was composed of only the distal part. To improve the biomechanical safety, a new design with the lag part similar to the lag screw was introduced. Based on CT scan data, relatively accurate model of femur for finite element analysis (FEA) were obtained. The FEA results with the new implant demonstrated that compared to traditional design, the declination of bone stress peak ranged from 15.68% to 28.67%, perpendicular deformation from 34.73% to 72.16%, and maximal stress of implant from 14.51% to 23.36% with the increasing of loads from 3750N to 2000N. So the new design of osteointegrated implant would be more secure mechanically, in the case of higher amputated leg attachment.

Background: The goal of this study was to analyze the stress distribution on two types of extra-short dental implants with 5 mm of length: An internal hexagon (IH) and morse taper connection (MT). Methods: The three-dimensional model was composed of trabecular and cortical bone, a crown, an extra-short dental implant and their components. An axial load of 150 N was applied and another inclined 30° with the same magnitude. Results: Stress concentrations on the IH implant are observed in the region of the first threads for the screw. However, in the MT implant the highest stress occurs at the edges of the upper implant platform. Conclusions: In view of the results obtained in this study the two types of prosthetic fittings present a good stress distribution. The Morse taper connections presented better behavior than the internal in both loading configurations.
