Abstract Research presented here involves numerical analysis of stresses in partial hip implant subjected to static loads, for two cases of patient weight. The numerical analysis requires the development of 3D models that would accurately represent real partial hip implant geometry, hence a reverse engineering approach via 3D scanning is also included. This combined approach provides reliable insight into the behaviour of partial hip implants under static load, while also exposing certain issues related to the application of this specific implant geometry at higher weight levels. Keywords: partial hip implant, finite element method, Ti-6Al-4V alloy, 3D scanning |
