An Experimental and Virtual Approach to Hip Revision Prostheses

(1) Introduction: The changes in the joint morphology inevitably lead to prosthesis, but the hip pathology is complex. The hip arthroplasty is a therapeutic solution and can be caused, most frequently, by primary and secondary coxarthrosis due to or followed by traumatic conditions. The main aim of this study was to find the method of revision hip prosthesis that preserves as much bone material as possible and has sufficiently good mechanical strength. (2) Materials and Methods: In this study, in a first step, the two revision prostheses were performed on bone components taken from an animal (cow), and then, they were tested on a mechanical testing machine until the prostheses physically failed, and the force causing their failure was determined. (3) Results: These prostheses were then modelled in a virtual environment and tested using the finite element method (FEM) in order to determine their behaviour under loading from normal human gait. Displacement, strain, and stress maps were obtained. (4) Discussion: Discussions on hip revision prostheses, method, and theory analysis are presented at the end of the paper. (5) Conclusions: Important conclusions are drawn based on comparative analyses. The main conclusion shows that the both orthopaedic prostheses provide a very good resistance.

The selection of biomaterials for biomedical application is a significant challenge. In the last few decades, various bioabsorbable and stable biopolymers have been applied for use as biomedical devices in orthopedic applications. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been extensively used in medical implants, notably in the bearings of hip, knee, and other joint prostheses, owing to its biocompatibility and high wear resistance. For the ACL graft, synthetic UHMWPE is an ideal candidate due to its biocompatibility and its extremely high tensile strength. Despite the appeal of new advanced materials such as carbon fiber, poly-ether-ether ketone, and other load-bearing materials, UHMWPE remains a primary load-bearing candidate material for ACL reconstructions because of its extremely high strength, the simplicity of the fabrication process, its biocompatibility, and low friction. However, some significant problems are observed in UHMWPE based implants, such as wear debris, and oxidative degradation due to the generation of free radicals when exposed to irradiation with gamma rays for grafting or sterilization. Various innovative methodologies have been developed to resolve those problems and enhance the properties of UHMWPE. In this review, we will explore in detail the methods for surface functionalization of UHMWPE and will apply these findings to the case study of UHMWPE for Anterior Cruciate Ligament repair.

“…Leeds-Keio ligament (LK) open weave polyester ligament (neoligaments Ltd, UK) is a synthetic ligament substitute for ACL reconstruction which has been widely used in the 1980s and early 1990s [104,118] . It's strength, relatively low stifness, and biological inertness are the main attraction for choosing it as an ACL replacement [105,119] .…”

Anterior cruciate ligament rupture is more common nowadays and it can lead to cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis [1]. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is frequent [2] and one of the challenging work in tissue engineering [3]. Anterior cruciate ligament is important for maintenance of knee movement [4]. ACL do not heal itself because of its intrinsically poor healing potential and surgical mediation is usually required [5,6]. Allograft and autograft were used for ACL reconstruction [7,8]. Due to several drawbacks of allograft and autograft synthetic grafts are the main option for ACL reconstruction [9]. Ligaments are made of bands of strong collagenous connective tissue. These paralleled collagen bundles attached to each other by crosslinking [10]. Mesenchymal cells produce this type of tissue; it can diferentiate into ibroblast cells. These ibroblast cells again diferentiate into ibrocytes cells. After maturation of ibrocytes they become inactive and produce ligaments. Ligaments attach two bones together at a joint, prevent dislocations of the joints, and restrain the movements of the joints. Ligaments contain two-thirds water and one-third solid. Collagen is the solid component of the ligament basically collagen types I and rests of the types are III, VI, XI and XIV. To maintain a considerable range of mechanical and biological properties of soft tissues, related organ systems, and bone collagen plays a vital role [11]. Structure of ACL ACL is not isometric [12]. ACL is made of collagen bundles which are paralleled and cross linked to each other. These bundles vary the tension among the ibers of the ligament [13]. Fibroblasts are joined to the bundles individually. It can produce new
