Abstract:Total ankle replacement (TAR) is the main clinical treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis, replacing the ankle joint with a metallic implant. Component loosening, fracture, and wear are the main reasons for implant failure, requiring revision surgery. A non-invasive guided wave monitoring technique is being developed to ultimately evaluate in-vivo implant device integrity and bone-implant interface conditions (osseointegration). Finite Element (FE) simulations were performed to investigate the feasibility and… Show more
