Modern ceramic (CoC) bearings for hip arthroplasty (THA) have been used in younger patients who expect improved survivorship. However, audible squeaking produced by the implant is an annoying complication. Previous numerical simulations were not able to accurately reproduce in vitro and in vivo observations. Therefore, we developed a finite element model to: (1) reproduce in vitro squeaking and validate the model by comparing it with in vivo recordings, (2) determine why there are differences between in vivo and in vitro squeaking frequencies, (3) identify the stem's role in this squeaking, (4) predict which designs and materials are more likely to produce squeaking.

Abstract
Modern ceramic (CoC) bearings for hip arthroplasty (THA) have been used in younger patients who expect improved survivorship. However, audible squeaking produced by the implant is an annoying complication. Previous numerical simulations were not able to accurately reproduce in vitro and in vivo observations. Therefore, we developed a finite element model to: (1) reproduce in vitro squeaking and validate the model by comparing it with in vivo recordings, (2) determine why there are differences between in vivo and in vitro squeaking frequencies, (3) identify the stem's role in this squeaking, (4) predict which designs and materials are more likely to produce squeaking.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
