Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE At present, the influence of the internal metallic endoskeleton of Spacer on the biomechanical strength of Spacer remains unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze the mechanical stability of a novel Spacer applying a annular skeleton that mimics the structure of trabecular bone using finite element methods. METHEDS The femur models of three healthy individuals and skeletonless Spacer, K-Spacer, and AD-Spacer were assembled to create 15 3D models. Finite element analysis was performed in an Ansys Bench2022R1. Biomechanical parameters such as stress and strain of the Spacer, internal skeleton and femur were evaluated under three loads, which were applied with the maximum force borne by the hip joint (2100 N), standing on one leg (700 N), and standing on two legs (350 N). The mechanical properties of the new hip Spacer were evaluated. RESULT The stresses on the medial and lateral surfaces of the AD-Spacer and K-Spacer were smaller than the stresses in the state without skeletal support. The maximum stresses on the medial and lateral surfaces of the AD-Spacer were smaller than those of the inserted K-Spacer, and the difference gradually increased with the increase of force intensity. When the skeleton diameter was increased from 3 to 4 mm, the stresses in the medial and lateral sides of the AD-Spacer and K-Spacer necks decreased. The stress of both skeletons was concentrated at the neck, but the stress of the annular skeleton was evenly distributed on the medial and lateral sides of the skeleton. The mean stress in the proximal femur was higher in femurs with K-Spacer than in femurs with AD-Spacer. CONCLUSIONS AD-Spacer has lower stress and higher load-bearing capacity than K-Spacer, and the advantages of AD-Spacer are more obvious under the maximum load state of hip joint.

Review and reflections about pulsatile ventricular assist devices from history to future: concerning safety and low haemolysis-still needed. J Artif Organs 2020; 23:303-314. [PMID: 32367384 PMCID: PMC7666270 DOI: 10.1007/s10047-020-01170-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2020] [Accepted: 04/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Since the first use of a ventricular assist device in 1963 many extracorporeal and implantable pulsatile blood pumps have been developed. After the invention of continuous flow blood pumps the implantable pulsatile pumps are not available anymore. The new rotary pumps spend a better quality of life because many of the patients can go home. Nevertheless, the extracorporeal pulsatile pumps have some advantages. They are low-cost systems, produce less haemolysis and heart-recovery can be tested easily. Pump failure is easy to realize because the pumps can be observed visually. Pump exchange can be done easily without any chirurgic surgery. As volume displacement pumps they can produce high blood pressure, so they are the only ones suitable for pediatric patients. Therefore, they are indispensable for clinical use today and in the future. In this work, nearly all pulsatile blood pumps used in clinical life are described.

Abstract
As literature implies, daily activities of total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients may include movements prone to implant-implant impingement. Thus, high shear stresses may be induced at the acetabular implant-bone interface, increasing the risk of implant loosening. The aim of the current study is to determine whether or not impingement events may pose an actual risk to acetabular periprosthetic bone. An existing experimental workflow was augmented to cover complete three-dimensional strain gage measurement. von Mises and shear stresses were calculated from 1620 measured strain values, collected around a hemispherical cup implant at 2.5 mm interface distance during worst-case impingement loading. A shear stress criterion for acetabular periprosthetic bone was derived from the literature. At the impingement site, magnitudes of von Mises stress amount to 0.57 MPa and tilting shear stress amount to -0.3 MPa at 2.5 mm interface distance. Conclusion can be drawn that worst-case impingement events are unlikely to pose a risk of bone material failure in the periphery around fully integrated cementless acetabular hip implants in otherwise healthy THA patients. As numerical predictions in the literature suggested, it can now be confirmed that impingement moments are unlikely to cause acetabular implant-bone interface fixation failures.

The effect of cement on hip stem fixation: a biomechanical study. AUSTRALASIAN PHYSICAL & ENGINEERING SCIENCES IN MEDICINE 2017; 40:349-357. [PMID: 28321636 DOI: 10.1007/s13246-017-0539-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2016] [Accepted: 03/06/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
This study presents the numerical analysis of stem fixation in hip surgery using with/without cement methods since the use of cement is still controversial based on the clinical studies in the literature. Many different factors such as stress shielding, aseptic loosening, material properties of the stem, surgeon experiences etc. play an important role in the failure of the stem fixations. The stem fixation methods, cemented and uncemented, were evaluated in terms of mechanical failure aspects using computerized finite element method. For the modeling processes, three dimensional (3D) femur model was generated from computerized tomography (CT) images taken from a patient using the MIMICS Software. The design of the stem was also generated as 3D CAD model using the design parameters taken from the manufacturer catalogue. These 3D CAD models were generated and combined with/without cement considering the surgical procedure using SolidWorks program and then imported into ANSYS Workbench Software. Two different material properties, CoCrMo and Ti6Al4V, for the stem model and Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) for the cement were assigned. The material properties of the femur were described according to a density calculated from the CT images. Body weight and muscle forces were applied on the femur and the distal femur was fixed for the boundary conditions. The calculations of the stress distributions of the models including cement and relative movements of the contacts examined to evaluate the effects of the cement and different stem material usage on the failure of stem fixation. According to the results, the use of cement for the stem fixation reduces the stress shielding but increases the aseptic loosening depending on the cement crack formations. Additionally, using the stiffer material for the stem reduces the cement stress but increases the stress shielding. Based on the results obtained in the study, even when taking the disadvantages into account, the cement usage is more suitable for the hip fixations.
