In situ bio printing of carbon fiber reinforced PEEK hip implant stem

The field of biomaterials has been transformed into an emerging field because these materials improve the quality and life span of humans. The most important need for the choice of biomaterial is the adaptability of the human body. Current hip implants are made of completely strong materials which all have strength and stiffness significantly higher than that of bone. This mechanical property change can cause significant damage to the bone. This study deals in the Design and Finite Element Analysis of composite hip prosthesis stem and development of hip stem that can disseminate the physiological loads from the hip stem to the femoral bone. The developed hip stem is fabricated to fit the human body and biocompatible. The materials selected for this work possess material properties very much closer to that of human bone unlike the metals. The designed hip prosthesis stem is being printed using 3D printing technology. 3D printed permeable hip inserts can help lessen this pressure-protecting impact and move a more disseminated power to the encompassing bone.
