Stress-strain analysis of the femoral component of ZIREMA total hip endoprosthesis

Purpose: The results of the research project, which relates to the original design for total hip joint replacement, are presented in this paper. Solution of this project was recommended and supported by the Government Office of the Slovak Republic. Design/methodology/approach: Research methodology of total hip joint replacement has focused on a comprehensive analysis of this type of implants, which are implanted into patients around the world. Based on this knowledge and experiences of many years of leading Slovak orthopedists as well as experts in the field of material engineering such analysis was carried out in this study to and test a new type of femoral component. Findings: The result of the project was the design and implementation of original new type of hip replacement. Research limitations/implications: The new type of femoral component was experimentally tested in prestigious laboratories and is ready for clinical application in patients.Practical implications: After the completion the entire research and development it will be available for use in the SR situation. Originality/value: Product of research and development is an original Slovak cementless hip joint replacement coxal pull-up marked as ZIREMA.
