Research: Design and Analysis of a Low-Stiffness Porous Hip Stem.
Biomedical Instrumentation & Technology 2017 November
Two major problems are associated with total hip replacement: 1) stress shielding and 2) the adverse tissue reaction to certain elements of the implant material. In this regard, a porous implant provides lower stiffness and vacancies for bone ingrowth, making it more suitable for the human bone compared with a solid stem. Moreover, second-generation titanium biomedical alloys, such as TNZT (Ti35Nb7Zr5Ta) and TMZF (Ti12Mo6Zr2Fe), have been introduced to prevent the adverse tissue reactions related to aluminum and vanadium elements of the popular Ti6Al4V alloy. In the current work, an analysis was performed based on uniaxial compression testing of cubic Ti6Al4V structures of different porosities to predict the governing equations that relate the relative density of the structure to the mechanical properties of the structure according to the Gibson-Ashby model. A numerical study was conducted to evaluate the change in stress distribution obtained by incorporating the new titanium alloys in porous hip stem implants. Implants modeled with the mechanical properties of TNZT and TMZF showed a minimum safety factor of 1.69 and 3.02, respectively, with respect to the yield strength. The results demonstrated an increase in the equivalent von Mises stresses and maximum principal elastic strain up to 7% and 15%, respectively, compared with the porous Ti6Al4V implant and up to 108% and 156%, respectively, compared with the solid Ti6Al4V implant.
