Total hip arthroplasty represents a major surgical achievement for pain relief and restoration of lifestyle quality due to the joint disease of osteoarthritis. Total hip replacement has evolved over the past 30 years utilising a variety of biocompatible materials, geometric shapes and fixation techniques. The main objective of this study is to investigate the long-term effects of strain adaptive bone remodelling due to the influence of a novel titanium cementless femoral hip replacement. The period of on-growth has been taken into account and the simulation has been run to predict the remodelling behaviour for a 36-month period. The main conclusion from this analysis is that the implant does shield the calcar to a similar degree as other cementless femoral hip designs. It does, however, tend to cause bone to be laid down along its length. This may, in part, be due to the novel geometry of the implant interlocking with and loading the bone. 相似文献

Bone morphology and density changes are commonly observed following joint replacement, may contribute to the risks of implant loosening and periprosthetic fracture and reduce the available bone stock for revision surgery. This study was presented in the ‘Bone and Cartilage Mechanobiology across the scales’ WCCM symposium to review the development of remodelling prediction methods and to demonstrate simulation of adaptive bone remodelling around hip replacement femoral components, incorporating intrinsic (prosthesis) and extrinsic (activity and loading) factors. An iterative bone remodelling process was applied to finite element models of a femur implanted with a cementless total hip replacement (THR) and a hip resurfacing implant. Previously developed for a cemented THR implant, this modified process enabled the influence of pre- to post-operative changes in patient activity and joint loading to be evaluated. A control algorithm used identical pre- and post-operative conditions, and the predicted extents and temporal trends of remodelling were measured by generating virtual X-rays and DXA scans. The modified process improved qualitative and quantitative remodelling predictions for both the cementless THR and resurfacing implants, but demonstrated the sensitivity to DXA scan region definition and appropriate implant–bone position and sizing. Predicted remodelling in the intact femur in response to changed activity and loading demonstrated that in this simplified model, although the influence of the extrinsic effects were important, the mechanics of implantation were dominant. This study supports the application of predictive bone remodelling as one element in the range of physical and computational studies, which should be conducted in the preclinical evaluation of new prostheses. 相似文献

Background
A hip replacement with a cemented or cementless femoral stem produces an effect on the bone called adaptive remodelling, attributable to mechanical and biological factors. All of the cementless prostheses designs try to achieve an optimal load transfer in order to avoid stress-shielding, which produces an osteopenia. 相似文献4.
The objective of this paper is to identify the effects of materials of cementless femoral stem on the functional adaptive behaviors of bone.The remodeling behaviors of a two-dimensional simplified model of cementless hip prosthesis with stiff stem,flexible 'iso-elastic' stem,one-dimensional Functionally Graded Material (FGM) stem and two-dimensional FGM stem for the period of four years after prosthesis replacement were quantified by incorporating the bone remodeling algorithm with finite element analysis.The distributions of bone density,von Mises stress,and interface shear stress were obtained.The results show that two-dimensional FGM stem may produce more mechanical stimuli and more uniform interface shear stress compared with the stems made of other materials,thus the host bone is well preserved.Accordingly,the two-dimensional FGM stem is an appropriate femoral implant from a biomechanical point of view.The numerical simulation in this paper can provide a quantitative computational paradigm for the changes of bone morphology caused by implants,which can help to improve the design of implant to reduce stress shielding and the risk of bone-prosthesis interface failure. 相似文献

A hip replacement with a cemented or cementless femoral stem produces an effect on the bone called adaptive remodelling, attributable to mechanical and biological factors. The objective of all of cementless prostheses designs has been to achieve a perfect transfer of loads in order to avoid stress-shielding, which produces an osteopenia. In order to quantify this, the long term and mass-produced study with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is necessary. Finite element (FE) simulation makes possible the explanation of the biomechanical changes which are produced in the femur after stem implantation. The good correlation obtained between the results of the FE simulation and the densitometric study allow, on one hand, to explain from the point of view of biomechanical performance the changes observed in bone density in the long-term, where it is clear that these are due to a different transfer of load in the implanted model compared to the healthy femur; on the other hand, it validates the simulation model, in a way that it can be used in different conditions and at different time periods, to carry out a sufficiently precise prediction of the evolution of the bone density from the biomechanical behaviour in the interaction between the prosthesis and femur. 相似文献

Experimental method for the in vitro testing of the initial stability of cementless hip prostheses 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Micromotions at the interface between bone and prosthesis are believed to induce bone resorption and ultimately lead to loosening of the implant. Thus the initial stability achieved by a hip prosthesis is an important factor for the long-term function of the implant. Knowing the biological consequences of the mechanical conditions, it appears to be mandatory to measure the extent of these three-dimensional movements. An in vitro dynamic method for measurement of the micromotion of the femoral component of hip prostheses has been developed. Tests in cemented prostheses have confirmed that the use of cement reduces sinkage and rotation manyfold and have yielded reference values for stability. Comparison with two types of cementless prostheses has shown that certain cementless implants may achieve stability comparable to cemented ones in some load directions. 相似文献

The femoral element of a total hip replacement is a composite structure of two, or perhaps three, components — the endoprosthesis, the bone and, where present, the cement. The interfacial conditions are such that complete structural continuity does not necessarily obtain. That this is so has often been suspected due to the observed loosening which can occur in vivo. In modelling the system, typically for finite element analysis, it has usually been considered to be monolithic, such that tensile and shear stresses could be transmitted across the interfaces as well as the normal compressive stress. Here the femoral component of a Freeman hip replacement is considered, implanted without bone cement, and analyses are carried out under monolithic, i.e. fully bonded, and non-bonded assumptions. Simultaneously the effect of retaining the neck of the femur, one of the features of using this particular prosthesis, is also examined. 相似文献

Finite element stress analyses were conducted of the canine femoral head before and after implantation of various surface replacement-type components. The femoral head was replaced by four implant geometries; (a) shell, (b) shell with peg, (c) shell with rod, and (d) a new epiphyseal replacement design. All implants were modelled to simulate bony ingrowth along the underside of the shell and along the surfaces of the peg and rod. The results indicated that in the normal femur the forces are transferred from the articular surface through the femoral head cancellous bone to the inferior cortical shell of the femoral neck. After shell-type surface replacement, forces were transferred more distally at the rim of the shell and at the end of the peg or rod, thereby reducing the stresses in the proximal head cancellous bone. Computer simulation of bone remodelling due to proximal bone stress reduction was shown to accentuate the abnormality of the stress fields. Surface replacement with a lower modulus material created a less abnormal redistribution of bone stresses. The new epiphyseal replacement design resulted in stress distributions similar to those in the normal femoral head and minimal shear stresses at the implant/bone interface. These findings suggest that the epiphyseal replacement concept may provide better initial mechanical integrity and create a more benign milieu for adaptive bone remodelling than conventional, shell-type surface replacement components. 相似文献

Hip resurfacing demonstrates good survivorship as a treatment for young patients with osteoarthritis, but occasional implant loosening failures occur. On the femoral side there is radiographic evidence suggesting that the implant stem bears load, which is thought to lead to proximal stress shielding and adaptive bone remodelling. Previous attempts aimed at reproducing clinically observed bone adaptations in response to the implant have not recreated the full set of common radiographic changes, so a modified bone adaptation algorithm was developed in an attempt to replicate more closely the effects of the prosthesis on the host bone. The algorithm features combined implant–bone interface healing and continuum bone remodelling. It was observed that remodelling simulations that accounted for progressive gap filling at the implant–bone interface predicted the closest periprosthetic bone density changes to clinical X-rays and DEXA data. This model may contribute to improved understanding of clinical failure mechanisms with traditional hip resurfacing designs and enable more detailed pre-clinical analysis of new designs. 相似文献

A numerical optimization procedure has been applied for the shape optimal design of a femoral head surface replacement. The failure modes of the prosthesis that were considered in the formulation of the objective functions concerned the interface stress magnitude and the bone remodelling activity beneath the implant. In order to find a compromising solution between different requirements demanded by the two objective functions, a two step optimization procedure has been developed. Through step 1 the minimization of interface stress was achieved, through step 2 the minimization of bone remodelling was achieved with constraints on interface stresses. The results obtained provided an optimal design that generates limited bone remodelling activity with controlled interface stress distribution. The computational procedure was based on the application of the finite element method, linked to a mathematical programming package and a design sensitivity analysis package. 相似文献

The initial stability of cementless femoral components is crucial for the long-term success of total hip arthroplasty. This has been reported in animal and clinical studies. Until now, the stability was evaluated by the measurement of relative micromotion on a few simultaneous locations around the stem in cadaveric experiments. This paper presents an extended experimental setup to measure simultaneously local micromotion, subsidence and gap on hundreds of points at the bone-stem interface. This technique we applied to anatomical and straight stems in three pairs of cadaveric femurs. Measurements were in agreement with typically reported values. Conversely to other methods, which measure micromotion between implant and bone anchoring points of the measuring device, our method provides local micromotion between stem surface and adjacent bone surface. The observed variation of micromotion at the peri-implant surface confirms the importance of this simultaneous measure on a lot of points around the implant. 相似文献

An early diagnosis of aseptic loosening of a total hip replacement (THR) by plain radiography, scintigraphy or arthography has been shown to be less reliable than using a vibration technique. However, it has been suggested that it may be possible to distinguish between a secure and a loose prosthesis using a vibration technique. In fact, vibration analysis methods have been successfully used to assess dental implant stability, to monitor fracture healing and to measure bone mechanical properties. Several studies have combined the vibration technique with the finite element (FE) method in order to better understand the events involved in the experimental technique. In the present study, the main goal is to simulate the change in the resonance frequency during the osseointegration process of a cementless THR (Zweymüller). The FE method was used and a numerical modal analysis was conducted to obtain the natural frequencies and mode shapes under vibration. The effects were studied of different bone and stem material properties, and different contact conditions at the bone–implant interface. The results were in agreement with previous experimental and computational observations, and differences among the different cases studied were detected. As the osseointegration process at the bone–implant interface evolved, the resonance frequency values of the femur–prosthesis system also increased. In summary, vibration analysis combined with the FE method was able to detect different boundary conditions at the bone–implant interface in cases of both osseointegration and loosening. 相似文献

Background
Hip replacement is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide; hundreds of implant configurations provide options for femoral head size, joint surface material and fixation method with dramatically varying costs. Robust comparative evidence to inform the choice of implant is needed. This retrospective cohort study uses linked national databases from England and Wales to determine the optimal type of replacement for patients over 60 years undergoing hip replacement for osteoarthritis.Methods and Findings
Implants included were the commonest brand from each of the four types of replacement (cemented, cementless, hybrid and resurfacing); the reference prosthesis was the cemented hip procedure. Patient reported outcome scores (PROMs), costs and risk of repeat (revision) surgery were examined. Multivariable analyses included analysis of covariance to assess improvement in PROMs (Oxford hip score, OHS, and EQ5D index) (9159 linked episodes) and competing risks modelling of implant survival (79,775 procedures). Cost of implants and ancillary equipment were obtained from National Health Service procurement data.Results
EQ5D score improvements (at 6 months) were similar for all hip replacement types. In females, revision risk was significantly higher in cementless hip prostheses (hazard ratio, HR = 2.22, p<0.001), when compared to the reference hip. Although improvement in OHS was statistically higher (22.1 versus 20.5, p<0.001) for cementless implants, this small difference is unlikely to be clinically important. In males, revision risk was significantly higher in cementless (HR = 1.95, p = 0.003) and resurfacing implants, HR = 3.46, p<0.001), with no differences in OHS. Material costs were lowest with the reference implant (cemented, range £1103 to £1524) and highest with cementless implants (£1928 to £4285).Limitations include the design of the study, which is intrinsically vulnerable to omitted variables, a paucity of long-term implant survival data (reflecting the duration of data collection), the possibility of revision under-reporting, response bias within PROMs data, and issues associated with current outcome scoring systems, which may not accurately reflect level of improvement in some patients.Conclusions
Cement fixation, using a polyethylene cup and a standard sized head offers good outcomes, with the lowest risks and at the lowest costs. The most commonly used cementless and resurfacing implants were associated with higher risk of revision and were more costly, while perceptions of improved function and longevity were unsupported. 相似文献14.

In cementless total hip arthroplasty, osteoporosis may jeopardize the achievement of immediate stability and lead to migration of anatomically shaped femoral stems. Poor quality of proximal cancellous bone per se may also affect the rate of osseointegration. In a selected group of female total hip arthroplasty patients (mean age 64 years) with unremarkable medical history, intertrochanteric cancellous bone biopsy was taken from the site of stem implantation. Local bone quality, determined by structural μCT imaging and destructive compression testing of the biopsy tissue, was used as the predictor of three-dimensional stem migration determined by radiostereometric analysis (RSA) up to 24 months. The patients exhibited major differences in mechanical properties of the intertrochanteric cancellous bone, which were closely related to the structural parameters calculated from μCT data. Unexpectedly, the major differences observed in the quality of trochanteric cancellous bone had only minor reflections in the RSA migration of the femoral stems. In statistical analysis, the μCT-based bone mineral density quartile (low, middle, high) was the only significant predictor for stem translation at 24 months (p=0.022) but only a small portion (R(2)=0.16) of the difference in translation could be explained by changes in bone mineral density quartile. None of the other parameters investigated predicted stem migration in translation or rotation. In conclusion, poor quality of intertrochanteric cancellous bone seems to contribute to the risk of implant migration less than expected. Probably also the importance of surgical preservation of intertrochanteric cancellous bone has been over-emphasized for osseointegration of cementless stem. 相似文献

An evaluation of the model of loadings acting on the femoral bone during the whole gait cycle was the main aim of the paper. A computer simulation of the musculoskeletal system based on the gait data collected during gait was used to determine the muscle forces as well as the hip joint reaction. Kinematic parameters as well as the ground reaction force for ninety-nine healthy persons of both sexes (18–36 years old) who had no history of musculoskeletal disease were registered during normal gait with preferred speed and used as inputs for musculoskeletal modelling and numerical simulation with the use of the AnyBody software. Time waveforms of the values of force generated by 21 muscles having attachments on the femoral bone as well as the hip joint reaction force were obtained. Directions of particular forces were presented using a femoral coordinate system. Attachment points for all muscle forces were obtained on the basis of the unscaled standard model with the length of the femur equal to 0.41 m. The presented model of loadings acting on the femoral bone element can be useful for the biomechanical analysis of bone development and remodelling as well as for the optimisation of implant or bone stabilizer design and pre-clinical testing. 相似文献

AbstractOne of the major causes of implant loosening is due to excessive bone resorption surrounding the implant due to bone remodelling. The objective of the study is to investigate the effects of implant material and implant–bone interface conditions on bone remodelling around tibia bone due to total ankle replacement. Finite element models of intact and implanted ankles were developed using CT scan data sets. Bone remodelling algorithm was used in combination with FE analysis to predict the bone density changes around the ankle joint. Dorsiflexion, neutral, and plantar flexion positions were considered, along with muscle force and ligaments. Implant–bone interfacial conditions were assumed as debonded and bonded to represent non-osseointegration and fully osseointegration at the porous coated surface of the implant. To investigate the effect of implant material, three finite element models having different material combinations of the implant were developed. For model 1, tibial and talar components were made of Co–Cr–Mo, and meniscal bearing was made of UHMWPE. For model 2, tibial and talar components were made of ceramic and meniscal bearing was made of UHMWPE. For model 3, tibial and talar components were made of ceramic and meniscal bearing was made of CFR-PEEK. Changes in implant material showed no significant changes in bone density due to bone remodelling. Therefore, ceramic appears to be a viable alternative to metal and CFR-PEEK can be used in place of UHMWPE. This study also indicates that proper bonding between implant and bone is essential for long-term survival of the prosthetic components. 相似文献

The success of a total hip arthroplasty is strongly related to the initial stability of the femoral component and to the stress shielding effect. In fact, for cementless stems, initial stability is essential to promote bone ingrowth into the stem coating. An inefficient primary stability is also a cause of thigh pain. In addition, the bone adaptation after the surgery can lead to an excessive bone loss and, consequently, can compromise the success of the implant. These factors depend on prosthesis design, namely on material, interface conditions and shape. Although, surgeons use stems with very different geometries, new computational tools using structural optimization methods have been used to achieve a better design in order to improve initial stability and therefore, the implant durability. In this work, a multi-criteria shape optimization process is developed to study the relationship between implants performance and geometry. The multi-criteria objective function takes into account the initial stability of the femoral stem and the effect of stress shielding on bone adaptation after the surgery. Then, the optimized stems are tested using a concurrent model for bone remodeling and osseointegration to evaluate long-term performance. Additionally, the sensitivity to misalignments is analyzed, since femoral stems are often placed in varus or valgus position. Results show that the different criteria are contradictory resulting in different characteristics for the hip stem. However, the multi-criteria formulation leads to compromise solutions, with a combination of the geometric characteristics obtained for each criterion separately. 相似文献

The most commonly reported complications related to cementless hip stems are loosening and thigh pain; both of these have been attributed to high levels of relative micromotion at the bone-implant interface due to insufficient primary fixation. Primary fixation is believed by many to rely on achieving a sufficient interference fit between the implant and the bone. However, attempting to achieve a high interference fit not infrequently leads to femoral canal fracture either intra-operatively or soon after. The appropriate range of diametrical interference fit that ensures primary stability without risking femoral fracture is not well understood. In this study, a finite element model was constructed to predict micromotion and, therefore, instability of femoral stems. The model was correlated with an in vitro micromotion experiment carried out on four cadaver femurs. It was confirmed that interference fit has a very significant effect on micromotion and ignoring this parameter in an analysis of primary stability is likely to underestimate the stability of the stem. Furthermore, it was predicted that the optimal level of interference fit is around 50 microm as this is sufficient to achieve good primary fixation while having a safety factor of 2 against femoral canal fracture. This result is of clinical relevance as it indicates a recommendation for the surgeon to err on the side of a low interference fit rather than risking femoral fracture. 相似文献
