Abstract

The application of metallic porous coatings on hip prostheses stems has increased the need for evaluating the interrelationship of implant design, material properties, and manufacturing process relative to component fatigue resistance.

In testing the PCA®(porous-coated anatomical) hip a three phase approach was followed comparing Vitallium® and Ti-6AI-4V alloys. Material and component fatigue tests were conducted, followed by in vitro stress analysis. The results of these studies are discussed.
