Modeling the debonding process of osseointegrated implants due to coupled adhesion and friction. Biomech Model Mechanobiol 2023; 22:133-158. [PMID: 36284076 PMCID: PMC9957925 DOI: 10.1007/s10237-022-01637-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Cementless implants have become widely used for total hip replacement surgery. The long-term stability of these implants is achieved by bone growing around and into the rough surface of the implant, a process called osseointegration. However, debonding of the bone-implant interface can still occur due to aseptic implant loosening and insufficient osseointegration, which may have dramatic consequences. The aim of this work is to describe a new 3D finite element frictional contact formulation for the debonding of partially osseointegrated implants. The contact model is based on a modified Coulomb friction law by Immel et al. (2020), that takes into account the tangential debonding of the bone-implant interface. This model is extended in the direction normal to the bone-implant interface by considering a cohesive zone model, to account for adhesion phenomena in the normal direction and for adhesive friction of partially bonded interfaces. The model is applied to simulate the debonding of an acetabular cup implant. The influence of partial osseointegration and adhesive effects on the long-term stability of the implant is assessed. The influence of different patient- and implant-specific parameters such as the friction coefficient [Formula: see text], the trabecular Young's modulus [Formula: see text], and the interference fit [Formula: see text] is also analyzed, in order to determine the optimal stability for different configurations. Furthermore, this work provides guidelines for future experimental and computational studies that are necessary for further parameter calibration.

Abstract
Background Femoral neck shortening can occur in young patients receiving internal fixation for Pauwels type II femoral neck fracture. The risk factors for neck shortening, which can affect hip function, are not clear. This study aimed to retrospectively identify risk factors for neck shortening after internal fixation with parallel partially threaded cannulated cancellous screws (FPTCS) for Pauwels type II femoral neck fracture in relatively young patients. Methods Clinical data from 122 cases with Pauwels type II femoral neck fracture from February 2014 to February 2019 were reviewed and analyzed, and causes of neck shortening were statistically analyzed. And the Chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test was used to compare indicators. Multivariate analysis was conducted with non-conditional logistic regression analysis. Results Statistically significant differences were found in age, sex, BMD, BMI, fracture type, posterior medial cortex comminution, and reduction quality between patients with femoral neck shortening and those without femoral neck shortening. Logistic regression analysis showed that fracture type, posterior medial cortex comminution, and reduction quality were the main risk factors for neck shortening. Conclusion Fracture type, posterior medial cortex comminution, and reduction quality can be used as important reference indexes to predict the possibility of neck shortening after internal fixation with FPTCS for Pauwels type II femoral neck fracture in young patients. BMD and BMI may be also risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to review the literature concerning the analysis of periprosthetic bone remodeling through finite element (FE) simulation. METHODS A systematic review was conducted on 9 databases, taking into account a ten-year time period (from 2009 until 2020). The inclusion criteria were: articles published in English, publication date after 2009, full text articles, articles containing the keywords both in the abstract and in the title. The articles were classified through the following parameters: dimensionality of the simulation, modelling of the bone-prosthesis interface, output parameters, type of simulated prosthesis, bone remodeling algorithm. RESULTS Sixty-seven articles were included in the study. Femur and tooth were the most evaluated bone segment (respectively 41.8% and 29.9%). The 55.2% of the evaluated articles used a bonded bone-prosthesis interface, 73% used 3D simulations, 67.2% of the articles (45 articles) evaluate the bone remodeling by the bone density variation. At last, 59.7% of the articles employed algorithms based on a specific remodeling function. CONCLUSIONS Increasing interest in the bone remodeling FE analysis in different bone segments emerged from the review, and heterogeneous solutions were adopted. An optimal balance between computational cost and accuracy is needed to accurately simulate the bone remodeling phenomenon in the post-operative period.

Abstract
This research was carried out to establish the relationship between human anthropometric data and corresponding gait variables. A group comprising 35 participants (18 male and 17 female) was selected for the current study. The study consisted of trials in which each participant was asked to walk the length of the instrumented walkway (Kistler’s force platform inset) at a self-selected speed. Using a four-camera motion analysis system, the kinematic and kinetic parameters of each trial were calculated. The peak values obtained from the data curves were used to generate the necessary regression fits. In order to establish the correlation between the anthropometric data of human and the gait parameters, the univariate, multivariate and stepwise fits were generated. Further, the statistical methods were employed to evaluate the [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]-values for each fit. The current multivariate study indicates an increasing trend in [Formula: see text] values and decreasing trend for [Formula: see text]-values when compared with the univariate fits and the results follow the expected line.

Abstract
The shape and geometry of femoral implant influence implant-induced periprosthetic bone resorption and implant-bone interface stresses, which are potential causes of aseptic loosening in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). Development of a shape optimization scheme is necessary to achieve a trade-off between these two conflicting objectives. The objective of this study was to develop a novel multi-objective custom-based shape optimization scheme for cementless femoral implant by integrating finite element (FE) analysis and a multi-objective genetic algorithm (GA). The FE model of a proximal femur was based on a subject-specific CT-scan dataset. Eighteen parameters describing the nature of four key sections of the implant were identified as design variables. Two objective functions, one based on implant-bone interface failure criterion, and the other based on resorbed proximal bone mass fraction (BMF), were formulated. The results predicted by the two objective functions were found to be contradictory; a reduction in the proximal bone resorption was accompanied by a greater chance of interface failure. The resorbed proximal BMF was found to be between 23% and 27% for the trade-off geometries as compared to ∼39% for a generic implant. Moreover, the overall chances of interface failure have been minimized for the optimal designs, compared to the generic implant. The adaptive bone remodeling was also found to be minimal for the optimally designed implants and, further with remodeling, the chances of interface debonding increased only marginally.

Abstract
Dental implants have become a routinely used technique in dentistry for replacing teeth. However, risks of failure are still experienced and remain difficult to anticipate. Multiscale phenomena occurring around the implant interface determine the implant outcome. The aim of this review is to provide an understanding of the biomechanical behavior of the interface between a dental implant and the region of bone adjacent to it (the bone-implant interface) as a function of the interface's environment. First, we describe the determinants of implant stability in relation to the different multiscale simulation approaches used to model the evolution of the bone-implant interface. Then, we review the various aspects of osseointegration in relation to implant stability. Next, we describe the different approaches used in the literature to measure implant stability in vitro and in vivo. Last, we review various factors affecting the evolution of the bone-implant interface properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteointegration of press-fit radial head implants is achieved by limiting micromotion between the stem and bone. Aspects of stem design that contribute to the enhancement of initial stability (ie, stem diameter and surface coating) have been investigated. The importance of total prosthesis length and level of the neck cut has not been examined. METHODS Cadaveric radii were implanted with cementless, porous-coated radial head stems. We resected 10, 12, 15, 20, and 25 mm of radial neck in each specimen. Stem-bone micromotion was measured after each cut. Values were expressed in terms of quotients (cantilever quotient). RESULTS A threshold effect was observed at 15 mm of neck resection (cantilever quotient, 0.4), with a significant increase in micromotion observed between 12 mm (40 ± 10 μm) and 15 mm (80 ± 25 μm). A cantilever quotient of 0.35 or less predicted implant stability, whereas implants with a cantilever quotient of 0.6 or more were unstable. In between, the stems were "at risk" of instability. CONCLUSION Initial stem stability of a porous-coated, cementless radial head implant is dependent on length of the implant stem within bone and the level of the cut (amount of bone resected). Stability may be compromised by an implant with a combined head and neck length that is too long compared with the stem length within the canal. We found a critical ratio of exposed prosthesis to total implant length (cantilever quotient of 0.4), which puts the prosthesis at risk of inadequate initial stability. These data carry important implications for implant design and use.

Abstract
One of the major causes of aseptic loosening in an uncemented implant is the lack of any attachment between the implant and the bone. The implant’s stability depends on a combination of primary stability (mechanical stability) and secondary stability (biological stability). The primary stability may affect the implant–bone interface condition and thus influence the load transfer and mechanical stimuli for bone remodelling in the resurfaced femur. This paper reports the results of a study into the affect of primary stability on load transfer and bone adaptation for an uncemented resurfaced femur. Three-dimensional finite element models were used to simulate the intact and resurfaced femurs and the bone remodelling. As a first step towards assessing the immediate post-operative condition, a debonded interfacial contact condition with varying levels of the friction coefficient (0.4, 0.5, and 0.6) was simulated at the implant–bone interface. Then, using a threshold value of micromotion of 50 µm, the implant–bone interfacial condition was varied along the implant–bone boundary to mechanically represent non-osseointegrated or osseointegrated regions of the interface. The considered applied loading conditions included normal walking and stair climbing. Resurfacing leads to strain shielding in the femoral head (20–75 per cent strain reductions). In immediate post-operative conditions, there was no occurrence of elevated strains in the cancellous bone around the proximal femoral neck–component junction resulting in a lower risk of neck fracture. Predominantly, the micromotions were observed to remain below 50 µm at the implant–bone interface, which represents 97–99 per cent of the interfacial surface area. The predicted micromotions at the implant–bone interface strongly suggest the likelihood of bone ingrowth onto the coated surface of the implant, thereby enhancing implant fixation. For the osseointegrated implant–bone interface, the effect of strain shielding was observed in a considerably greater bone volume in the femoral head as compared to the initial debonded interfacial condition. A 50–80 per cent periprosthetic bone density reduction was predicted as compared to the value of the intact femur, indicating bone resorption within the superior resurfaced head. Although primary fixation of the resurfacing component may be achieved, the presence of high strain shielding and peri-prosthetic bone resorption are a major concern.
