Objective:
To introduce the design of customized pelvic prosthesis, to evaluate the biomechanical property under three load conditions of customized pelvic prosthesis under three load cinditions.
Methods:
A titanium alloy prosthesis for reconstruction of pelvic tumors was designed by CAD software. The strength and stiffness of the custom prosthesis under static and slow gait conditions were analyzed and evaluated by finite element method.
Results:
The results of the finite element analysis suggested that the maximum von Mises stress in the pelvic under three load conditions were 39.0, 202.8 and 42.4 MPa; the maximum displacement were 0.199, 0.766 and 0.847 mm. The maximum von Mises stress in the prosthesis under three load conditions were 62.3, 318 and 468 MPa. The maximum Von Mises stress in the Ti-alloy prosthesis and pelvic was far smaller than the yield strength of Ti-alloy.
Conclusions:
The study can design the size and shape of prosthesis accurately according to patient's condition. The finite element method can reduce the bone stress level and fracture risk, prolong the service life of prostheses, and ensure the safety and stability of the postoperative patients under normal gait.
