Total hip prosthesis is used for the patients who have hip fracture and are unable to recover naturally. To de-sign highly durable prostheses one has to take into account the natural processes occurring in the bone. Finite element analysis is a computer based numerical analysis method which can be used to calculate the response of a model to a set of well-defined boundary conditions. In this paper, the static load analysis is based, by se-lecting the peak load during the stumbling activity. Two different implant materials have been selected to study appropriate material. The results showed the difference of maximum von Misses stress and detected the frac-ture of the femur shaft for different model (Charnley and Osteal) implant with the extended finite element method (XFEM), and after the results of the numerical simulation of XFEM for different was used in deter-mining the stress intensity factors (SIF) to identify the crack behavior implant materials for different crack length. It has been shown that the maximum stress intensity factors were observed in the model of Charnley.
