Module 7 Case Study Design Considerations For An Orthopedic Hip Implant

Uploaded by

rihab
This document discusses material selection considerations for total hip replacement prostheses. It covers three units: material properties in design, static failure, and fatigue failure. The case study focuses on total hip replacement, where damaged bone and cartilage are replaced. Key engineering design considerations for hip prostheses include strength, weight, biocompatibility, life, and modulus of elasticity. Titanium alloy is commonly used due its properties matching bone. Porous titanium addresses stress shielding by providing a modulus closer to bone.

Total Hip Replacement Prostheses:
Wolff’s Law
• Bone remodeling: adapts to magnitude and
direction of load

• Old Hip prosthesis modulus > bone modulus

• Stress shielding

• Bone remodeling

• Implant loosening and pain
