Abstract:The geometrical shape of the femoral component of hip implants plays a key role in the long-term survivorship of hip implants. The aim of this study was to propose a multi-objective shape optimization procedure using the MOPSO algorithm with three shape-dependent failure mechanisms of hip implants as objective functions including the stress shielding, initial relative micro-motion, and bone-implant interface stress. The Taperloc® Complete femoral stem was selected and its reference geometry was defined with si… Show more
