For the first time, a design of a modular ceramic ball head of a total hip joint replacement (THR) friction pair has been developed, which has the properties of a metal in conjunction with the stem neck and the properties of a ceramics on bearing surface of the pair. This is achieved by creating a low-cost, low-toxic, durable fixed connection of the head made of alumina or zirconia ceramics and the titanium-based alloy sleeve to obtain a brazed joint that is efficient in human synovial fluid. With the help of finite element analysis, a quantitative assessment of the strength and rigidity of the proposed head design was performed and its use in modern hip arthroplasty was indicated. The approbation of the proposed design solutions for creating a THR ceramic head with a titanium-based alloy sleeve brazed was carried out.

For the first time, the design of a modular ceramic head of a total hip replacement (THR) has been developed, which has the properties of a metal in join with the stem neck and the properties of a ceramic on the bearing surface of a friction couple. This is achieved by creating a low-cost, low-toxic, strong connection of alumina or zirconium ceramics and a titanium alloy to obtain a soldered joint that is efficient in human synovial fluid. With the help of finite element analysis, a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the strength and rigidity of the proposed head design has been made. Also shown is an image of a finished soldered head made of alumina ceramic with a sleeve made of titanium alloy VT1-0.

In joint replacement surgery, the critical point in the success of cemented implants is the stabilisation between the implant and bone. The stronger the interlocking achieved on both the implant–cement interface and the cement–bone interface, the more durable is the surgical intervention. However, to date, it has not been possible to prevent aseptic loosening of hip implants, thus making a revision surgery necessary after a period of about 10 years. In this study, the tensile and shear strengths of the implant–cement and cement–bone interfaces and factors which can affect these strengths such as sandblasting parameters and implant material choice were investigated experimentally. The stresses on the total hip replacement interfaces were then determined via finite element analysis and the findings compared with the strength values obtained from the mechanical tests. The total hip replacement prosthesis was designed using SolidWorks software, and material properties and boundary conditions were modelled with the ANSYS Workbench software. Stresses due to the loads applied to the femur head had exceeded the highest tensile and shear strength values obtained by the classical test methods and damaged the contact surfaces in some regions. In light of these findings, the damage sites of the interfaces were determined.

Evaluation and prediction of wear play a key role in product design and material selection of total hip replacements, because wear debris is one of the main causes of loosening and failure. Multifactorial clinical or laboratory studies are high cost and require unfeasible timeframes for implant development. Simulation using finite element methods is an efficient and inexpensive alternative to predict wear and pre-screen various parameters. This article presents a comprehensive literature review of the state-of-the-art finite element modelling techniques that have been applied to evaluate wear in polyethylene hip replacement components. A number of knowledge gaps are identified including the need to develop appropriate wear coefficients and the analysis of daily living activities.

This paper describes a simple modelling technique used to study the load transfer in the proximal femur in total hip replacement. Model femora cast in a rigid polyurethane foam and prostheses made from various plastics were used to study the effects of individual design parameters on stresses in the femur and prosthesis. The technique was applied in this study to examine the effects on the load transfer of two geometrically identical prostheses simulating two different materials, viz. titanium and chrome cobalt. The model simulating titanium produced more physiological femoral stresses and lower stem stresses. The technique proved to be a simple yet reliable method of studying individual parameters related to the design of femoral prostheses.
