Design and Analysis of Customized Hip Implant Using Finite Element Method

In total hip replacement, the damaged bone and the cartilage are removed and replaced with the prosthetic implant. Though various innovations have come with implant sterilization, designing, fixation and robotic surgery, the long- term issue is to find an optimum patient-specific hip implant which suits the patient's requirement. The aim and objective of the proposed study was to design a highly accurate patient-specific hip implant by standardizing the existing design and to prove that customized design is better than the conventional design. The geometric measurements of hip were performed in hip CT image using MIMICS 20.0 software. The implant design was carried out using Solid-works. The designed implant is meshed and analysed using FEA. From the comparative study of the FEA analysis, it was proved that customized implant was best fit for the patients than the conventional implant.
