Investigates performance of collared hip implants under dynamic loading, suggesting improved durability.

This research aims to evaluate the performance of novel collared hip implant designs under patient-specific dynamic loading conditions.
Applied patient-specific dynamic forces using finite element analysis.
Evaluated four cross-sectional profiles: circular, elliptical, oval, trapezoidal.
Analyzed wear characteristics comparing CoCr and Ti-6Al-4V stem materials.
Assessed impact of UHMWPE acetabular cups on wear and noise reduction.
The elliptical cross-sectional profile showed superior performance.
CoCr stem exhibited four times higher sliding distance and 5.5 times higher contact pressure than Ti-6Al-4V stem.
CoCr stem had 82% higher contact pressure and 89% greater sliding distance at the stem-head junction compared to Ti-6Al-4V.
Using UHMWPE cups eliminated squeaking noises, enhancing wear resistance.
