ABSTRACT
Total hip endoprotheses are a good possibility for treatment degenerative wear and pathologic damage of the hip joint in man as well as in dogs. However, aseptic loosening of the protheses, especially in the area of the shaft, is still a problem in conventional total hip endoprotheses. The purpose of the present study was to use the finite-element-analysis (FEA), to enhance endoprothetic design and to prevent loosening of protheses. In order to simulate the femur of the dog for numerical analysis, a material law for the compacta in the femur of the dog was developed. The elastic properties of the compacta were experimentally determined by using compression tests of bone samples of euthanised dogs. The results show constant denseness and a constant axial elastic modul in the compacta.
