MODELLING THE DURABILITY OF MULTIBODY TOTAL HIP JOINT PROSTHESIS

Virgil Florescu, Laurentiu Rece, Aurel Gherghina and Adriana Tudorache

Abstract. The Total Hip Prosthesis (THP) is one of the biggest successes of the 20th century in the field of orthopaedic biomechanical engineering. The loss of stability THP are scheduled failure. The percentage of good functioning after 10 years of operation for classically THP is 94\According to the data from the Swedish Prosthesis Register, the working time of a prosthesis reaches an average of 15 years. It is well known that the premature failure of the THP implant, in which there is frictional slip between the acetabular cup and the femoral head, also depends on the surgical accuracy which is required to provide functional angles. One solution is to promote hip prosthesis with multibody rolling. Predicting their function and the analytical determination of the lastingness of multibody prostheses is a challenge. The purpose of this paper is to provide a reliable solution to make a prediction on the durability of a THP multibody implant with the use of computing resources available to any user. This may also be the basis for subsequent risk analyzes of implant failure depending on the physical aspects of the patient and the features of the prosthesis.
