Abstract:
The range of the bone defect and the filling material are among the most important causes of prosthetic instability and consequent failure of the artificial knee joint. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of bone defects on the stability of unicondylar prostheses. Different lengths of medullary cavity extension rods, filling gaps (simulating different ranges of bone defects) and filling materials are selected as influencing factors for the orthogonal test. Compare the influence of various factors on the maximum equivalent stress distribution of cortical bone through finite element analysis, and the optimal combination to achieve the best effect on the stability of the prosthesis was determined to be an extension rod length of 18.5 mm, a filling gap of 6 mm, and a filling material of titanium alloy. It is concluded that the use of metal materials to fill the medial femoral condyle defect can improve the stability of the UKA prosthesis, and that the stability will not be affected by expanding the filling range of the medial femoral condylar bone defect within an appropriate range, while changing the length of the prosthesis extension rod has little effect on the stability of the UKA femoral prosthesis. © 2021 IEEE.
