Fracture simulation for zirconia toughened alumina microstructure [PDF]
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe finite element modelling for fracture and fatigue behaviour of zirconia toughened alumina microstructures. Design/methodology/approach - A two-dimensional finite element model is developed with an actual $Al{_2}O{_3}$ - 10 vol% $ZrO{_2}$ microstructure. A bilinear, time-independent cohesive zone law is

Performance of the resurfaced hip. Part 1: The influence of the prosthesis size and positioning on the remodelling and fracture of the femoral neck [PDF]
Hip resurfacing is an established treatment for osteoarthritis in young active patients. Failure modes include femoral neck fracture and prosthesis loosening, which may be associated with medium-term bone adaptation, including femoral neck narrowing and ...

Trends of mechanical consequences and modeling of a fibrous membrane around femoral hip prostheses [PDF]
In the present study, the effects of a fibrous membrane between cement and bone in a femoral total hip replacement were investigated. The study involved the problem of modeling this fibrous membrane in finite-element analyses, and its global consequences

SYSTEM FOR IN VITRO PRIMARY STABILITY ANALYZIS OF CEMENTED HIP PROSTHESIS [PDF]
This paper presents a simple embodiment of the system that can be used for the primary stability analysis of the cemented hip prosthesis. The proposed variant is based on experimental test stand for hip prostheses (in terms of tribology) found in ...

Early detection of hip periprosthetic joint infections through CNN on Computed Tomography images [PDF]
Early detection of an infection prior to prosthesis removal (e.g., hips, knees or other areas) would provide significant benefits to patients. Currently, the detection task is carried out only retrospectively with a limited number of methods relying on biometric or other medical data.

Labral calcification plays a key role in hip pain and symptoms in femoroacetabular impingement
Background Hip osteoarthritis (HOA) is the most common hip disorder and a major cause of disability in the adult population, with an estimated prevalence of end-stage disease and total hip replacement.

Calculation of wear (f.i. wear modulus) in the plastic cup of a hip joint prosthesis [PDF]
The wear equation is applied to the wear process in a hip joint prosthesis and a wear modulus is defined. The sliding distance, wear modulus, wear volume, wear area, contact angle and the maximum normal stress were calculated and the theoretical ...

Powered Prosthesis Locomotion on Varying Terrains: Model-Dependent Control with Real-Time Force Sensing [PDF]
Lower-limb prosthesis wearers are more prone to falling than non-amputees. Powered prostheses can reduce this instability of passive prostheses. While shown to be more stable in practice, powered prostheses generally use model-independent control methods that lack formal guarantees of stability and rely on heuristic tuning.

Revision of the uncemented hip prosthesis [PDF]
In a series of 213 consecutive total hip replacements a.m. Lubinus, the clinical course after 72 revisions and 141 primary procedures was compared after 5 years. The revised THRs were uncemented Ring prostheses. Dislocation and peroperative fracture were more common in the revision group.
