With the goal of increasing the survivorship of the prosthesis and anticipating primary stability problems of new prosthetic implants, finite element evaluation of the micromotion, at an early stage of the development, is mandatory. This allows assessing and optimizing different designs without manufacturing prostheses. This study aimed at investigating, using finite element analysis (FEA), the difference in the prediction of the primary stability of cementless hip prostheses implanted into a $Sawbones^{(R)}$ 4th generation, using the manufacturer's mechanical properties and using mechanical properties close to that of human bone provided by the literature (39 papers). FEA was carried out on the composite $Sawbones^{(R)}$ implanted with a straight taper femoral stem subjected to a loading condition simulating normal walking. Our results show that micromotion increases with a reduction of the bone material properties and decreases with the augmentation of the bone material properties at the stem-bone interface. Indeed, a decrease of the cancellous Young modulus from 155MPa to 50MPa increased the average micromotion from $29{\mu}m$ up to $41{\mu}m$ (+42%), whereas an increase of the cancellous Young modulus from 155MPa to 1000MPa decreased the average micromotion from $29{\mu}m$ to $5{\mu}m$ (-83%). A decrease of cortical Young modulus from 16.7GPa to 9GPa increase the average global micromotion from $29{\mu}m$ to $35{\mu}m$ (+33%), whereas an increase of the cortical Young modulus from 16.7GPa to 21GPa decreased the average global micromotion from $29{\mu}m$ to $27{\mu}m$ (-7%). It can also be seen that the material properties of the cancellous structure had a greater influence on the micromotion than the material properties of the cortical structure. The present study shows that micromotion predicted at the stem-bone interface with material properties of the $Sawbones^{(R)}$ 4th generation is close to that predicted with mechanical properties of human femur.

Ceramic on ceramic total hip prostheses are developed to apply to young patients because lifetime of polyethylene joint prostheses is limited by loosening due to biological response. As mating faces of all-ceramic joint must be highly conformed to reduce stress concentration, wear properties of flat surfaces are investigated in this study. Through wear tests at 2 MPa of contact pressure and 36 mm/s of sliding velocity, alumina and silicon carbide keep low wear rate, high hardness and smooth surface. Soft surface film was detected after the test in bovine serum. This suggests that boundary lubrication is effective to reduce wear in all-ceramic joint.

Background: The morphometry of the acetabulum is one source of information that assists in the clinical diagnosis of the hip and influences the proper selection of a prosthesis, reducing post-operative complications such as those seen in total hip replacement (THR). However, acetabular parameters in small-breed dogs are rarely reported. Objectives: To investigate acetabular parameters using radiography and computed tomography (CT) in small-breed dogs with Maltese and Shih Tzu dogs used as model breeds. Methods: Standard calibrated, extended hip radiographs and CT images were obtained. Subsequently, acetabular width (AW) in various directions was measured using radiography and CT, whereas acetabular depth (AD) was obtained by CT. Acetabular index (AI) is a ratio calculated from AD and AW. Results: The values of AW and AD were much higher in Shih Tzu than in Maltese dogs. Male Shih Tzus showed higher values of these parameters than females, while sex-based differences in most of the parameters could not be detected in Maltese. Body weight, but not age, influenced AWs and ADs. While AWs and ADs were influenced by several factors, AI was comparable among the assessed factors and between Maltese and Shih Tzu dogs (p = 0.172; 31.42 ± 1.35 and 32.60 ± 1.80, respectively). Also, AI did not vary with breed, sex, or body size. Conclusions: The obtained radiographic and CT acetabular parameters could be useful as guidelines for evaluating the acetabulum of small-breed dogs in clinical practice.

Total ankle replacement (TAR) is a visible option in the surgical treatment of degenerative or inflammatory diseases of ankle joint. it is attributed to the current TAR which has improvements in surgical technique, uncemented implant fixation and minimally constrained articulation. In the clinical result, they can show promised surgical result when compared to earlier attempts in TAR. However, TAR is still not as successful as total knee replacement (TKR) or total hip replacement (THR), it needs to be note that there are limitations in concerning of long term performance of TAR, the high failure rate still associated with wear of the PE (polyethylene) component that has related with their material property and surface roughness. The aim of this study was to introduce the tribology characteristics of total ankle joint prosthesis with one of TDR model which was fabricated to try multi-axis wear test as a region of motion in ankle joint. The wear specimen of TDR was prepared with Ti-6Al-4V alloy and UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) for tibia-talus and bearing component, respectively. A wear test was carried out using a Force 5 (AMTI, Massachusetts, US) wear simulator which can be allowed to move in three axis to flexion-extension ($+3^{\circ}{\sim}-6^{\circ}$), internal-external axial rotation (${\pm}5^{\circ}$), as well as sinusoidal compressive load (1.6 kN, R=10). All tests were performed following standard ISO 14243, wear rate was calculated with weight loss of UHMWPE bearing while the specimen has tested at certain cycles. As based on the preliminary results, wear rate of UHMWPE bearing was $7.9{\times}10^{-6}mg/cycles$ ($R^2=0.86$), calculated loss weight until $10^7cycles$ was 79 mg, respectively.

목적: 대퇴골 전치환술은 사지재건술의 극단적 술식 중 하나이며 증례가 드물어 이에 대한 연구는 주로 술식 후의 합병증에 대한 분석이며 본 술식의 적응증에 대한 분석은 미미하다. 저자들은 대퇴골 전치환술 36예의 1) 종양적 문제로 치환술을 받은 환자의 생존에 관련된 예후인자, 2) 치환물 및 하지의 생존율, 3) 치환물을 3년 이상 추시한 예의 합병증, 최종 하지 상태 및 기능적 결과를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 대퇴골 전치환술을 받은 이유에 따라 원발성 종양에 의한 경우(15예, 1군), 오인 수술 및 국소재발로 인한 경우(16예, 2군), 재건물 실패로 인한 경우(5예, 3군)의 세 군으로 분류하였다. 환자 생존인자 분석 항목은 나이, 성별, 전치환술 원인, 항암요법 전후 종양 부피 변화, 절제연, 국소재발이었다. 결과: 전체 36예의 5년 환자 생존율은 31.5%±16.2%였다. 종양과 관련된 적응증으로 치환술을 받은 31예의 5년 생존율은 21.1%±15.6%였다. 항암요법 전후 종양의 크기가 같거나 감소한 10예의 5년 생존율은 50.0%±31.0%로 크기가 증가한 13예의 0.0%±0.0%보다 유의하게 높았다(p=0.02). 광범위 절제연을 얻은 12예의 5년 생존율은 41.7%±27.9%로 변연부 절제연의 0.0%±0.0% 보다 유의하게 높았다(p=0.03). 성별, 나이, 대퇴골 전치환술을 시행받은 원인, 치환술 후 국소 재발여부와 생존율과의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 치환물 36예에서 5년 생존율은 16.6%±18.2%였다. 하지의 10년 생존율은 85.9%±14.1%였다. 최종 추시상 종양인 공관절을 유지한 것이 12예, 회전성형술은 2예, 슬관절 상부 절단술 1예, 관절고정술 1예였다. 대퇴골 전치환술 후 3년 이상 추시가 가능했던 16예 중 수술이 필요했던 주 합병증이 14예, 보존적 치료만 했던 저등급 감염이 2예였다. 수술한 환자 14예 중 감염이 10예(71.4%)예, 국소재발이 2예, 고관절 탈구, bushing 파손, 대퇴동맥 폐색이 각각 1예였다. 결론: 종양과 관련된 적응증으로 대퇴골 전치환술을 시행한 환자 중 항암요법 후 종양의 크기가 커지거나 절제연이 불량한 경우, 환자가 조기에 사망하는 경우가 많았다. 따라서 전치환술의 시행에 신중해야 할 것으로 생각된다. 장기 생존 환자에서도 감염률이 높고 기능적 결과도 만족스럽지 않으나 현재 적응증을 고려했을 때 대퇴골 전치환술은 사지보존을 위한 최선의 방법으로 보인다.
