In Silico Contact Pressure of Metal-on-Metal Total Hip Implant with Different Materials Subjected to Gait Loading

The use of material for implant bearing has a vital role in minimizing failures that endanger recipients. Evaluation contact pressure can be the basis selection and have correlations with wear contribute to need revision operations. current paper aims investigate three different metallic materials, namely cobalt chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo), stainless steel 316L (SS 316L), titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) application metal-on-metal total hip terms pressure. In silico model based on finite element simulation been considered predict bearings under normal walking conditions. It is found Ti6Al-4V-on-Ti6Al4V superior its ability reduce by more than 35% compared other studied couple bearings.
