This study presents a comprehensive numerical investigation on contact mechanics of ceramic-on-ceramic hip replacements under edge-loading condition. In particular, the combined effect of implant positioning and design on the contact pressure is analysed for different load levels. The final aim is to identify design/configuration solutions which minimize the risks associated to edge-loading.

Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive numerical investigation on contact mechanics of ceramic-on-ceramic hip replacements under edge-loading condition. In particular, the combined effect of implant positioning and design on the contact pressure is analysed for different load levels. The final aim is to identify design/configuration solutions which minimize the risks associated to edge-loading.File in questo prodotto:
