THE DESIGN AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE ENDOPROSTHESIS OF THE HIP JOINT

Abstract

The paper presents results of the preliminary structural analysis of model of the endoprosthesis of the hip joint. Basics of anatomy and biomecha-nical analysis of the hip joint were introduced. Based on data from atlas of human anatomy and medical imaging, the prototype of endoprosthesis was modelled using Solid Edge ST8 software. After determining physical properties of structural materials, the Finite Elements Analysis of the model was conducted using in SolidWorks software under various load conditions. Finally the results of analysis are presented.
