Abstract
Revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) involving acetabular defects is a complex procedure associated with lower rates of success than primary THA. Computational modeling has played a key role in surgical planning and prediction of postoperative outcomes following primary THA, but modeling applications in rTHA for acetabular defects remain poorly understood. This study aimed to systematically review the use of computational modeling in acetabular defect classification, implant selection and placement, implant design, and postoperative joint functional performance evaluation following rTHA involving acetabular defects. The databases of Web of Science, Scopus, Medline, Embase, Global Health and Central were searched. Fifty-three relevant articles met the inclusion criteria, and their quality were evaluated using a modified Downs and Black evaluation criteria framework. Manual image segmentation from computed tomography scans, which is time consuming, remains the primary method used to generate 3D models of hip bone; however, statistical shape models, once developed, can be used to estimate pre-defect anatomy rapidly. Finite element modeling, which has been used to estimate bone stresses and strains, and implant micromotion postoperatively, has played a key role in custom and off-the-shelf implant design, mitigation of stress shielding, and prediction of bone remodeling and implant stability. However, model validation is challenging and requires rigorous evaluation and comparison with respect to mid- to long-term clinical outcomes. Development of fast, accurate methods to model acetabular defects, including statistical shape models and artificial neural networks, may ultimately improve uptake of and expand applications in modeling and simulation of rTHA for the research setting and clinic.

Biomechanical analysis and clinical observation of 3D-printed acetabular prosthesis for the acetabular reconstruction of total hip arthroplasty in Crowe III hip dysplasia. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1219745. [PMID: 37790252 PMCID: PMC10543228 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1219745] [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: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical effectiveness of 3D-printed integrated acetabular prosthesis (IAP) and modular acetabular prosthesis (MAP) in reconstructing the acetabulum for patients with Crowe III developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The results of this study can provide a theoretical foundation for the treatment of Crowe III DDH in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: Finite element (FE) analysis models were created to reconstruct Crowe III DDH acetabular defects using IAP and MAP. The contact stress and relative micromotion between the acetabular prosthesis and the host bone were analyzed by gradually loading in three increments (210 N, 2100 N, and 4200 N). In addition, five patients with Crowe III DDH who underwent IAP acetabular reconstruction were observed. Results: At the same load, the peak values of IAP contact stress and relative micromotion were lower than those of MAP acetabular reconstruction. Under jogging load, the MAP metal augment's peak stress exceeded porous tantalum yield strength, and the risk of prosthesis fracture was higher. The peak stress in the bone interface in contact with the MAP during walking and jogging was higher than that in the cancellous bone, while that of IAP was higher than that of the cancellous bone only under jogging load, so the risk of MAP cancellous bone failure was greater. Under jogging load, the relative micromotion of the MAP reconstruction acetabular implant was 45.2 μm, which was not conducive to bone growth, while under three different loads, the relative micromotion of the IAP acetabular implant was 1.5-11.2 μm, all <40 μm, which was beneficial to bone growth. Five patients with IAP acetabular reconstruction were followed up for 11.8 ± 3.4 months, and the Harris score of the last follow-up was 85.4 ± 5.5. The imaging results showed good stability of all prostheses with no adverse conditions observed. Conclusion: Compared with acetabular reconstruction with MAP, IAP has a lower risk of loosening and fracture, as well as a better long-term stability. The application of IAP is an ideal acetabular reconstruction method for Crowe III DDH.

Abstract
To analyse the strength and mechanical behaviour of hip implants, it is essential to employ an appropriate loading model. Generating computational models supplemented with muscle forces is a complicated task, especially in the initial phase of implant development. This research aims to expand the possibilities of the simpler acetabular cage model based on joint loads without significantly increasing the demand for computing resources. A Python script covered and grouped the loads from daily activities. The ten calculated major loads were compared with the maximum of the walking and stair climbing loads through the finite element analyses of a custom-made acetabular cage. Sensitivity analyses were performed for the surrounding bones' elastic modulus and the pelvis boundary conditions. The major loads can geometrically cover the entire load spectrum of daily activities. The effect of many high-magnitude force vectors is uncertain in the approach that uses the most common maximum loads. Using these resultant major loads, a new stress concentration area could be detected on the acetabular cage, besides the stress concentration areas induced by the loads reported in the literature. The qualitative correctness of the results is also supported by a control computed tomography scan: a fracture occurred in an extensive, high-stress zone. The results are not sensitive to changes in the elastic modulus of the surrounding bone and the boundary conditions of the model. The presented load vectors and the algorithm make more extensive static analyses possible with little computational overhead. The proposed method can be used for checking the static strength of similar implants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Bone grafts placed behind acetabular cages change their structure in response to mechanical stimuli. The full consideration of lifestyle loads is extremely resource-intensive, so a method using substitutive loads was proposed to reduce the calculation cost. The aim of the study is to present and prove this method. METHODS By means of mechanical equations and using the force vectors from the literature which have the same initial point and their relative frequency, while applying a linear model, the average strain energy density distribution for all load cases can be calculated, compiling a matrix from the external loads. From the elements of this matrix, three substitutive load vectors can be calculated, which can be proven to produce the same strain energy density distribution by averaging their effects. The feasibility of using this to model the transformation of bone grafts placed behind acetabular cages is demonstrated with a finite element model, along with a reference calculation. RESULTS The substitutive load vectors could be calculated in closed form and the simulations showed that they produced a similar density distribution to the reference model with a numerical calculation error range. Accordingly, the density distribution calculated from bone graft transformation is almost the same. CONCLUSIONS In addition to the aforementioned linearity and the same initial point limitations, the applied method is able to produce the substitutive load vectors with which the calculation of the strain energy density distribution and the bone graft's new density distributions can be carried out faster.

Abstract
Background Osteolytic neoplasms to periacetabular bone frequently cause pain and fractures. Immediate recovery is integral to lifesaving ambulatory oncologic care and maintaining quality of life. Yet, open acetabular reconstructive surgeries are associated with numerous complications that delay cancer treatments. Purpose To determine the effectiveness for short- and long-term pain and ambulatory function following percutaneous ablation, osteoplasty, reinforcement, and internal fixation (AORIF) for periacetabular osteolytic neoplasm. Materials and Methods This retrospective observational study evaluated clinical data from 50 patients (mean age, 65 years ± 14 [SD]; 25 men, 25 women) with osteolytic periacetabular metastases or myeloma. The primary outcome of combined pain and ambulatory function index score (range, 1 [bedbound] through 10 [normal ambulation]) was assessed before and after AORIF at 2 weeks and then every 3 months up to 40 months (overall median follow-up, 11 months [IQR, 4-14 months]). Secondary outcomes included Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score, infection, transfusion, 30-day readmission, mortality, and conversion hip arthroplasty. Serial radiographs and CT images were obtained to assess the hip joint integrity. The paired t test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to analyze data. Results Mean combined pain and ambulatory function index scores improved from 4.5 ± 2.4 to 7.8 ± 2.1 (P < .001) and median ECOG scores from 3 (IQR, 2-4) to 1 (IQR, 1-2) (P < .001) at the first 2 weeks after AORIF. Of 22 nonambulatory patients, 19 became ambulatory on their first post-AORIF visit. Pain and functional improvement were retained beyond 1 year, up to 40 months after AORIF in surviving patients. No hardware failures, surgical site infections, readmissions, or delays in care were identified following AORIF. Of 12 patients with protrusio acetabuli, one patient required a conversion hemiarthroplasty at 24 months. Conclusion The ablation, osteoplasty, reinforcement, and internal fixation, or AORIF, technique was effective for short- and long-term improvement of pain and ambulatory function in patients with periacetabular osteolytic neoplasm. © RSNA, 2023.

Abstract
The goal of the study is to analyse the strength and stability of a system comprising the pelvis and a customised implant under functional loads using the finite element method. We considered a technique for assessing the elastic properties of bone tissue via computer tomography, constructing finite element models of pelvic bones and a customised endoprosthesis based on the initial geometric models obtained from the National Medical Research Centre for Oncology n.a. N.N. Blokhin (Moscow, Russia). A series of calculations were carried out for the stress-strain state of the biomechanical system during walking, as well as at maximum loads when ascending and descending stairs. The analysis provided conclusions about the strength and stability of the studied device.

Influence of different fixation modes on biomechanical conduction of 3D printed prostheses for treating critical diaphyseal defects of lower limbs: A finite element study. Front Surg 2022; 9:959306. [PMID: 36090321 PMCID: PMC9448880 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.959306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Applying 3D printed prostheses to repair diaphyseal defects of lower limbs has been clinically conducted in orthopedics. However, there is still no unified reference standard for which the prosthesis design and fixation mode are more conducive to appropriate biomechanical conduction. Methods We built five different types of prosthesis designs and fixation modes, from Mode I to Mode V. Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to study and compare the mechanical environments of overall bone-prosthesis structure, and the maximum stress concentration were recorded. Additionally, by comparing the maximum von Mises stress of bone, intramedullary (IM) nail, screw, and prosthesis with their intrinsic yield strength, the risk of fixation failure was further clarified. Results In the modes in which the prosthesis was fixed by an interlocking IM nail (Mode I and Mode IV), the stress mainly concentrated at the distal bone-prosthesis interface and the middle-distal region of nail. When a prosthesis with integrally printed IM nail and lateral wings was implanted (Mode II), the stress mainly concentrated at the bone-prosthesis junctional region. For cases with partially lateral defects, the prosthesis with integrally printed wings mainly played a role in reconstructing the structural integrity of bone, but had a weak role in sharing the stress conduction (Mode V). The maximum von Mises stress of both the proximal and distal tibia appeared in Mode III, which were 18.5 and 47.1 MPa. The maximum peak stress shared by the prosthesis, screws and IM nails appeared in Mode II, III and I, which were 51.8, 87.2, and 101.8 MPa, respectively. These peak stresses were all lower than the yield strength of the materials themselves. Thus, the bending and breakage of both bone and implants were unlikely to happen. Conclusion For the application of 3D printed prostheses to repair diaphyseal defects, different fixation modes will lead to the change of biomechanical environment. Interlocking IM nail fixation is beneficial to uniform stress conduction, and conducive to new bone regeneration in the view of biomechanical point. All five modes we established have reliable biomechanical safety.

III
Acetabular Defects by Three‐Dimensional Printed Porous Augment: Techniques and Clinical Outcomes of 18 Consecutive Cases. Orthop Surg 2022; 14:1004-1010. [PMID: 35377531 PMCID: PMC9087386 DOI: 10.1111/os.13250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2020] [Revised: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To introduce the surgical technique of reconstruction of Paprosky type III acetabular defects by 3D printed porous augments. Methods First, CT scans of pelvis were obtained to establish the 3D reconstruction model of 3D printed porous augment. Then, a nylon pelvis model was printed to simulate operation with the surgeons. At this time, the augment was designed and modified according to the surgeon's suggestions and the 3D printing principles. Eighteen patients with Paprosky type III acetabular defects receiving reconstructive surgery by 3D printed porous augments were included in current study. Their data, including general information, intra‐operative findings, imaging results, functional scores, and complications were retrospectively analyzed. Results The mean follow‐up time lasted 33.3 ± 2.0 (24–56) months. The average limb‐length discrepancy (LLD) was 31.7 ± 4.2 (3–59) mm preoperatively, 7.7 ± 1.4 (1–21) mm postoperatively (P < 0.0001), and 7.5 ± 1.2 (0–18) mm at the latest follow‐up. The mean vertical position of hip center of rotation (HCOR) from the interteardrop line changed from preoperative 50.7 ± 3.9 (23.3–75.3) mm to postoperative 22.9 ± 1.9 (10.1–40.3) mm (P < 0.0001), with the latest follow‐up revealing an HCOR of 22.3 ± 1.7 (11.0–40.5) mm. Follow‐up study showed that no hip had radiolucencies and radiological loosening of the acetabular components and augment. The average Harris hip score (HHS) improved from 40.3 ± 4.5 (10.5–71) before operation to 88.4 ± 1.9 (75–97) at the last follow‐up (P < 0.0001). Moreover, follow‐up exhibited that no periprosthetic joint infection, hip dislocation, fracture, and re‐revision occurred. Conclusion Surgical treatment of Paprosky type III acetabular defect with 3D printed porous augment was simple, achieved good match between porous augment and the defect bone surface and the acetabular component, ideally restored LLD and HCOR after operation, significantly improved HHS and attained good early clinical outcomes. It is a promising personalized solution for patients with severe acetabular bone defect.

Biomechanical effect of metal augment and bone graft on cup stability for acetabular reconstruction of total hip arthroplasty in hip dysplasia: a finite element analysis. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:277. [PMID: 35321681 PMCID: PMC8943934 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05168-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2021] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Different methods of acetabular reconstruction with total hip arthroplasty (THA) for Crowe II and III of adult developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) acetabular bone defect have been implemented clinically. However, the biomechanical effect of different augmented materials for acetabular reconstruction in THA on shell stability has never been discussed. Methods In the present study, autologous bone graft (BG)and metal (Ti6Al4V) augment (MA) were simulated with several acetabular bone defect models of DDH in THA. The contact pressure and micromotion between the shell and host bone were measured for evaluating the shell stability using a finite element method. Results The peak contact stress between shell and host bone was higher in the MA situation (12.45 vs 8.71 MPa). And the load transfer path was different, for BG models, the high local contact stresses were found at the junction of bone graft and host bone while for MA models the concentrated contact stresses were at the surface of MA. The peak relative micromotion between shell and host bone was higher in the MA situation (12.61 vs 11.13 µm). However, the peak micromotion decreased in the contact interface of MA and cup compared to the BG models. Conclusions The higher micromotion was found in MA models, however, enough for bone ingrowth, and direct stronger fixation was achieved in the MA-cup interface. Thus, we recommended the MA can be used as an option, even for Crowe III, however, the decision should be made from clinical follow-up results.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the reconstructive stability for Paprosky III acetabular defects after total hip arthroplasty using three different reconstruction strategies with trabecular metal (TM) augments. The acetabular bone defects examined were located in the ilium, the sciatic ramus and the pubic ramus. Different scenarios of acetabular reconstructions were simulated, including the non-reconstruction model (NRM), the complete reconstruction model (CRM), the two-point reconstruction model (TRM) and the superior edge reconstruction model (SRM). A primary hip replacement model (HRM) was also investigated to compare the initial stability with different reconstruction models. The gait cycle was incorporated in the model to investigate the dynamic variation within the contact mechanics parameters. By comparing the SRM and the TRM, the acetabular cup translation was more pronounced when the superior defect on the acetabulum remained unfixed. Comparison of the acetabular cup displacement and the interface micromotion of both HRM and CRM demonstrated that the prosthetic implant provided good support for the reconstructed acetabulum. With the use of a press-fit cup, the cup displacement was reduced remarkably, while its Von-Mises stress increased significantly. The results show that the CRM was the best reconstruction option. In terms of acetabular defects, future improvements should focus on the reconstructive stability in stress concentration areas, to ensure no significant stress-shielding or other factors contributing to loosening of the prosthesis.

BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:4542302. [PMID: 33335923 PMCID: PMC7723487 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4542302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2020] [Revised: 10/14/2020] [Accepted: 11/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
METHODS As an acetabular bone defect model created in Bama miniswine, an augment individually fabricated by 3D print technique with Ti6Al4V powders was implanted to repair the defect. Nine swine were divided into three groups, including the immediate biomechanics group, 12-week biomechanics group, and 12-week histological group. The inner structural parameters of the 3D printed porous augment were measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), including porosity, pore size, and trabecular diameter. The matching degree between the postoperative augment and the designed augment was assessed by CT scanning and 3D reconstruction. In addition, biomechanical properties, such as stiffness, compressive strength, and the elastic modulus of the 3D printed porous augment, were measured by means of a mechanical testing machine. Moreover, bone ingrowth and implant osseointegration were histomorphometrically assessed. RESULTS In terms of the inner structural parameters of the 3D printed porous augment, the porosity was 55.48 ± 0.61%, pore size 319.23 ± 25.05 μm, and trabecular diameter 240.10 ± 23.50 μm. Biomechanically, the stiffness was 21464.60 ± 1091.69 N/mm, compressive strength 231.10 ± 11.77 MPa, and elastic modulus 5.35 ± 0.23 GPa, respectively. Furthermore, the matching extent between the postoperative augment and the designed one was up to 91.40 ± 2.83%. Besides, the maximal shear strength of the 3D printed augment was 929.46 ± 295.99 N immediately after implantation, whereas the strength was 1521.93 ± 98.38 N 12 weeks after surgery (p = 0.0302). The bone mineral apposition rate (μm per day) 12 weeks post operation was 3.77 ± 0.93 μm/d. The percentage bone volume of new bone was 22.30 ± 4.51% 12 weeks after surgery. CONCLUSION The 3D printed porous Ti6Al4V augment designed in this study was well biocompatible with bone tissue, possessed proper biomechanical features, and was anatomically well matched with the defect bone. Therefore, the 3D printed porous Ti6Al4V augment possesses great potential as an alternative for individualized treatment of severe acetabular bone defects.

Acetabular Bone Defect in Total Hip Arthroplasty for Crowe II or III Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip: A Finite Element Study. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:4809013.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to establish the finite element analysis (FEA) model of acetabular bone defect in Crowe type II or III developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), which could evaluate the stability of the acetabular cup with different types of bone defects, different diameters of femoral ceramic heads, and the use of screws and analyze the stress distribution of screws. Methods The FEA model was based on the CT scan of a female patient without any acetabular bone defect. The model of acetabular bone defect in total hip arthroplasty for Crowe II or III DDH was made by the increasing superolateral bone defect area of the acetabular cup. Point A was located in the most medial part of the acetabular bone defect. A 52 mm PINNACLE cup with POROCOAT Porous coating was implanted, and two screws (the lengths were 25 mm and 40 mm) were implanted to fix the acetabular cup. The stability of the acetabular cup and the von Mises stress of point A and screws were analyzed by a single-legged stance loading applied in 1948 N (normal working). The different diameters of the femoral ceramic head (28 mm, 32 mm, and 36 mm) were also analyzed. Results The von Mises stress of point A was gradually increased with the increasing uncoverage values. When the uncoverage values exceeded 24.5%, the von Mises stress of point A without screws increased significantly, leading to instability of the cup. Screws could effectively reduce the von Mises stress of point A with uncoverage values of more than 24.5%. However, the peak von Mises stress in the screws with the uncoverage values that exceeded 24.5% was considerably increased. The diameter of the femoral ceramic head had no significant effect on the von Mises stress and the stability of the acetabular cup. Conclusions We recommend that uncoverage values of less than 24.5% with or without screw is safe for patients with Crowe II or III DDH.

Abstract
Objective Atrophic distal femur non-union with bone defect (ADFNBD) has been a worldwide challenge to treat due to the associated biological and mechanical problems. The purpose of this study was to introduce a new solution involving the use of a J-shaped iliac crest bone graft (J-bone) combined with double-plate (DP) in the treatment of femoral non-union. Methods Clinically, 18 patients with ADFNBD were included in this retrospective study and were treated with a combination of J-bone graft and DP. The average follow-up time was 22.1 ± 5.5 months (range, 14 to 34 months). The imaging information and knee joint activity tests and scores were used to evaluate the time to weight-bearing, the time to non-union healing, and the knee joint mobility. A finite element analysis was used to evaluate the differences between the following: (1) the use of a lateral locking plate (LLP) only group (LLP-only), (2) a DP only group (DP-only), (3) a DP with a J-bone group (DP+J-bone), and (4) an LLP with a J-bone group (LLP+J-bone) in the treatment of ADFNBD. A finite element analysis ABAQUS 6.14 (Dassault systems, USA) was used to simulate the von Mises stress distribution and model displacement of the plate during standing and normal walking. Result All patients with non-union and bone defect in the distal femur achieved bone healing at an average of 22.1 ± 5.5 months (range, 14 to 34 months) postoperatively. The average healing time was 6.72 ± 2.80 months. The knee Lysholm score was significantly improved compared with that before surgery. Under both 750 N and 1800 N axial stress, the maximum stress with the DP+J-bone structure was less than that of the LLP+J-bone and DP-only structures, and the maximum stress of J-bone in the DP+J-bone was significantly less than that of the LLP+J-bone+on structure. The fracture displacement of the DP+J-bone structure was also smaller than that of the LLP+J-bone and DP-only structures. Conclusion J-bone combined with DP resulted in less maximum stress and less displacement than did a J-bone combined with an LLP or a DP-only graft for the treatment of ADFNBD. This procedure was associated with less surgical trauma, early rehabilitation exercise after surgery, a high bone healing rate, and a satisfactory rate of functional recovery. Therefore, a combination of J-bone and DP is an effective and important choice for the treatment of ADFNBD.

The Influence of Geometry of Implants for Direct Skeletal Attachment of Limb Prosthesis on Rehabilitation Program and Stress-Shielding Intensity. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:6067952. [PMID: 31360717 PMCID: PMC6644269 DOI: 10.1155/2019/6067952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2019] [Accepted: 06/09/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of the research was to evaluate the influence of selected parameters of the implants for bone anchored prostheses on possibility of conducting static load bearing exercises and stress-shielding intensity. A press-fit implant, a threaded implant, and the proposed design were compared using the finite element method. For the analyses two features were examined: diameter (19.0 – 21.0 mm) and length (75.0 – 130.0 mm). To define the possibility of conducting rehabilitation exercises the micromotion of implants while axial loading with a force up to 1000 N was examined to evaluate the changes at implant-bone interface. The stress-shielding intensity was estimated by bone mass loss over 60 months. The results suggest that, in terms of micromotion generated during rehabilitation exercises, the threaded (max. micromotion of 16.00 μm) and the proposed (max. micromotion of 45.43 μm) implants ensure low and appropriate micromotion. In the case of the press-fit solution the load values should be selected with care, as there is a risk of losing primary stabilisation. The allowed forces (that do not stimulate the organism to generate fibrous tissue) were approx. 140 N in the case of the length of 75 mm, increasing up to 560 N, while using the length of 130 mm. Moreover, obtained stress-shielding intensities suggest that the proposed implant should provide appropriate secondary stability, similar to the threaded solution, due to the low bone mass loss during long-term use (improving at the same time more bone remodelling in distal Gruen zones, by providing lower bone mass loss by approx. 13% to 20% in dependency of the length and diameter used). On this basis it can be concluded that the proposed design can be an appropriate alternative to commercially used implants.
