Abstract

Press-fit surgical procedures aim at providing primary stability to acetabular cup (AC) implants. Impact analysis constitutes a powerful approach to retrieve the AC implant insertion properties. The aim of this numerical study was to investigate the dynamic interaction occurring between the hammer, the ancillary and bone tissue during the impact and to assess the potential of impact analysis to retrieve AC implant insertion conditions. A dynamic two-dimensional axisymmetric model was developed to simulate the impaction of the AC implant into bone tissue assuming friction at the bone–implant interface and large deformations. Different values of interference fit (from 0.5 to 2 mm) and impact velocities (from 1 to 2 m.s−1) were considered. For each configuration, the variation of the force applied between the hammer and the ancillary was analyzed and an indicator I was determined based on the impact momentum of the signal. The simulated results are compared to the experiments. The value of the polar gap decreases with the impact velocity and increases with the interference fit. The bone–implant contact area was significantly correlated with the resonance frequency (R 2 = 0.94) and the indicator (R 2 = 0.95). The results show the potential of impact analyses to retrieve the bone–implant contact properties.
