Abstract

Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most successful and cost-effective surgical interventions performed in orthopedics. The performance of hip prosthesis depends on factors such as type of material, dimensions, type of contact and stresses induced. The present paper addresses the influence of various material combinations on the contact stress. The metal and ceramic combinations are considered. Normal force due to walking is considered to estimate the contact stresses analytically, using Von Mises stress theory. The various radial clearances between head and liner, obtained by considering different geometrical configurations, are used to calculate contact stresses for all hard-on-hard material combination. The variation of contact stress during natural biological activities, such as walking, sitting, climbing and stumbling, is tabulated and represented graphically. A linear relationship is observed between contact stress and radial clearance. Highest contact stress is observed in ceramic-on-ceramic combination across all activities.
