髋关节内置假体设计方法

提出一种新的内置假体设计方法.先利用股骨CT图像数据,通过提取股骨外形及髓腔轮廓线并进行封闭、光顺处理,然后根据股骨髓腔几何解剖状态设计个体股骨假体.利用股骨CT图像中每个象素的CT值和ANSYS软件提供的参数设计语言APDL进行二次开发并形成自主开发的材料属性赋值程序.有限元分析时调用研发的材料属性赋值程序,将股骨有限元模型的每一单元赋予相应的材料属性,实现股骨有限元模型每个单元材料正确的非均匀及各向异性描述,在此基础上进行有限元计算和接触有限元计算,对比置换前后股骨的应力分布情况及大小,检验假体设计的合理性.研究结果表明这种假体设计和分析方法更为合理、可靠.

Design Method for the Individual Anatomical Hip Joint Endoprosthesis

A new design method for the individual hip joint endoprostheses is proposed. By picking up the contour lines from the femur's CT images and making them closed and smoothed, a solid model of the femur is reconstructed using the contour lines by CAD software. An individual anatomical hip joint endoprosthesis is designed with the inner contour curves of the medulla cavity in CAD software. Utilizing the APDL(ANSYS Parametric Design Language) and the CT value per pixel in the CT image for developing a program through which every element of the bone can get its own material property. The finite element model's anisotropy and inhomogeneity of bone material are realized, then the endoprosthesis and the femur-stem contact finite element model can be built in ANSYS. Based on this, calculation on the contact model can be processed. It is feasible to checkout the rationality of the design by comparing the stress distribution in the femur with the situation before replacement. And the results reveal that the method is more reasonable and reliable.
