The study of wear behaviors on abducted hip joint prostheses by an alternate finite element approach

Highlights • Wear behaviors of the total hip replacement (THR) with various abduction angles are investigated • An Alternate finite element approach with contact transformation may offer less computational effort without significant loss in data accuracy. • The THR with larger abduction angles may p...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Wear behaviors of the total hip replacement (THR) with various abduction angles are investigated • An Alternate finite element approach with contact transformation may offer less computational effort without significant loss in data accuracy. • The THR with larger abduction angles may produce deeper depth of wear but the volume of wear presents an opposite tendency.
