Finite Element Analysis And Validation Of Hip Joints With The Main Types Of Femoroacetabular Impingement, Kevin Lucas Mitchell
Finite Element Analysis And Validation Of Hip Joints With The Main Types Of Femoroacetabular Impingement, Kevin Lucas Mitchell
Master's Theses
Current research suggests that femoroacetabular impingement can be a cause of osteoarthritis. Femoroacetabular impingement is a condition that can affect both the femur and the pelvis of an individual. Femoroacetabular impingement can cause damage to the hip joint and its surrounding tissues. The articular cartilage and the labrum are both affected by this condition. A cam impingement is where a bony protrusion develops at the femoral head/neck junction. A pincer impingement is where a bony protrusion develops at the acetabular rim. Often, patients are seen with a combination of both impingements. The main goal of this study was to computationally …

Modeling The Zimmer Fitmore And Ml Taper Implantation, Tyler Kazuo Franklin
Master's Theses
With more young adults requiring total hip
arthroplasties the need for bone saving implants becomes
more important. The Zimmer Fitmore is a new bone saving
implant that utilizes an implantation technique that
reduces the damage to the muscle tissue allowing for
patients to have a short recovery time as well as a new
design that allows it to rest on the medial cortex. There
has been anecdotal evidence that this device leads to early
revision within six months of implantation due to failures
occurring in the medial cortex. The main goal of this
study was to computationally model the Zimmer …
