Abstract

Introduction: Prosthesis loosening is an alteration of the function and position of a total hip prosthesis with reference to the initial surgical moment. The main mechanism unanimously accepted for aseptic prosthetic losses at the level of the cup is represented by the biological mechanism.

Material and method: Experimental and virtual, interdisciplinary tools, techniques and methods were used to determine the behavior of the hip replacement prosthesis with the morcellated graft and the reconstruction net. Performing an orthopedic assembly with a morcellated bone graft and reconstruction net. An assembly was performed on a hip joint taken from an animal (cow). The biological material and the components of the prosthesis were prepared similarly to the revision prosthesis intervention. Experimental testing of orthopedic assembly with morcellated bone graft and reconstruction net. This assembly was tested on a universal machine to determine the maximum force at which it yields. This was 1790 Kgf, i.e. 17559 N. Virtual experimental testing of the hip joint with orthopedic revision assembly with a morcellated bone graft and reconstruction net for normal gait loading. The orthopedic assembly with the morcellated graft and the reconstruction net was reconstructed in the virtual environment. Normal load was used. Results maps were obtained.

Conclusions: Analyzing the results from the two tests, experimental and virtual, and important conclusions were drawn regarding this orthopedic assembly.
