Finite Element Investigation of Acetabular Cups Used During Revisionist Surgery

Article Preview

Abstract:

Serious coxarthosis which significantly impaires the quality of life; can be diagnosed in young ages of the patient too. Therefore, nowadays the prosthesis implantation is performed in the activest life period of the patient. Besides it is known that the replacement of the prosthesis will be necessary later. When acetabular cups were measured, the results were analyzed and the differences were determined, I made a simulation to observe the differences referring to the wear. Thereafter I compared the measured and calculated results introduced in the paper.
