Abstract

The paper is concerned with a description and results of a finite element stress analysis of the human femur fitted with a Charnley total hip prosthesis. Because of limitations on computer usage a two-dimensional simulation of the three dimensional problem was carried out. Nevertheless stress determinations were made for the cortical bone, acrylic and metal prosthesis stem. The effect of prosthesis location and stem thickening were also investigated. The results compared satisfactorily with those of laboratory strain measurements.
