Abstract:
Objective To set up the 3D-finite element(FE)model of normal acetabulum-cartilage-femoral head,so that to provide an effective model for biomechanical analysis of femoral head.Methods(1)The hip joint in one healthy adult male volunteer was scanned by MRI at coronal section.The 3D reconstruction model of acetabulum-cartilage-femoral head was constructed with MATLAB and ANSYS software.(2)The 3D orthotropy finite element model of the acetabulum-cartilage-femoral head was constructed by givig the corresponding material parameters to the different structures of the model of acetabulum-cartilage-femoral head and divided into networks through ANSYS software.(3)The standing status was imitated on the model to set boundary condition and loading and then calculated.The effect of the model was evaluated in comparison with that of literature.Results A 3D orthotropy FE model of acetabulum-cartilage-femoral head was established successfully,including 89 961 points of 448 159 units.The maximal displacement was on the femoral head,and the maximal Von Mises stress was on the femur neck.The stress analysis was the same as the results of literature and the actuality.Conclusion A 3D orthotropy FE model of acetabulum-cartilage-femoral head can be setup based on MRI images,which can provide a reasonable and effective model for biomechamical analysis of femoral head.
