Abstract:During the operation of total hip arthroplasty, when the cement polymerizes between the stem implant and the bone, residual stresses are generated in the cement. The purpose of this study was to determine whether including residual stresses at the stem-cement interface of cemented hip implants affected the cement stress distributions due to externally applied loads. An idealized cemented hip implant subjected to bending was numerically investigated for an early post-operative situation. The finite element analysis was three-dimensional and used non-linear contact elements to represent the debonded stem-cement interface. The results showed that the inclusion of the residual stresses at the interface had up to a 4-fold increase in the von Mises cement stresses compared to the case without residual stresses.
