The Use of Computer Systems in the Design of Hip Replacements

Abstract:

Hip replacement is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures. The implant prosthesis is used in the treatment of lesions within the joint or damage caused by mechanical stress. The main factors are disease, that indication for arthroplasty include: rheumatoid arthritis, advanced degenerative changes, fractures proximal epiphysis of the femur and femoral head necrosis. The design elements of hip replacements and analysis of preclinical surgical implant mobilized towards the use of medical imaging techniques. It is this end, the patient qualified for arthroplasty are tested using one of the methods of radiological examination (X-ray), computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The date obtained as a result of medical imaging are stored in the DICOM format ( Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine). It is a standard established that create and exchange of medical images obtained as a result of various diagnostic methods. DICOM medical device obtains the information about the structure of data stored in a file or a sequence of files, and how to communicate with any device and program for their transfer. Contains data to interpret and process correctly the files, regardless of the equipment, that generated them. Additionally, it has the calibration information, which allows you to take measurements and calculations using the browser's [1].
