Abstract

The postoperative period for a carrier of total hip prosthesis (THP), especially in the first months, remains the most difficult period for a patient after each operation, even if traumatologist surgeons want the relief and success of their operations. In this investigation, selected three of the daily activities for a wearer of total hip replacement (THR), such as sitting in a chair, lifting a chair, and going downstairs, and was performed a numerical simulation by finite elements based on experimental data by Bergmann (Bergmann 2001) in terms of effort for each activity. Different stresses have been extracted, and a detailed comparison between two activities with different induced stresses such as normal, tensile, and compressive shear stresses.
