Abstract

Orthopedic research in hip endoprosthesis is advancing rapidly. The new techniques that are being used in the domain of Rapid Prototyping (RP) have given the possibility to build scaffold structures from metallic and plastic materials. This paper presents the designing process and a FEM simulation of a tailored hip endoprosthesis with a scaffold structure which is placed all over the stem and also brings into discussion the fixation place, which is influenced by the in-growth process of the bone tissue. The hip endoprosthesis simulation use as material Ti6Al4V because it is biocompatible and can be used to manufacture the endoprosthesis using RP technology like Electron Beam Melting (EBM). Keywords: scaffold structures, orthopedic implants, electron beam melting, modeling
