Abstract(s)

[Introduction] Total Hip Arthroplasty involves replacing damaged parts of the hip joint with a prosthetic comprised of an artificial acetabular cup and femoral head. These components, made of durable, low-friction materials, aim to restore mobility, and alleviate pain in patients with hip joint degeneration, such as osteoarthritis or fractures. Utilizing computational mathematical models, such as the finite element method (FEM), it is possible to predict the behavior of materials under simulated loads from common daily activities [1], thereby anticipating potential failures in the femoral stem or the material itself.
