Total hip replacement (THR) is normally done for the failure of hip joint caused by
osteoarthritis. It is performed to relief pain and to improve functionality. Issues
related to the study include method to reduce fixation failure, means to improve the
longevity of the prosthesis, methods to reduce the factors contributing to probability
of failure such as cement strength, implant interface strength, and loosening. The
present work focused on failure related to stress related only. The main aim of this
work is to study the inner failure stress for THR and to suggest recommended
functional activities for patient whom undergoes THR. By knowing the stress for
the inner bone, the failure mechanisms of THR for different dynamics loadings can
be predicted more objectively. For this study, ANSYS Workbench version 11.0 was
used for the Finite Element (FE) analysis. The values of stress and strain
distributions in anterior (A), posterior (P), medial (M) and lateral (L) positions of the
healthy femoral bone and THR were obtained. The stress and strain distributions of
inner healthy femoral bone surface subjected to standing were studied. The effect of
materials on the variations of stress and strain of the outer and inner surface of the

healthy bone were studied and determined. Hip prosthesis and hip prosthesis with
bone resorption for different functional activities such as standing, walking, stair-
climbing, single-legged stance, abductor, and adductor loads was studied. Failure
mechanisms of hip implant were determined and THR life was predicted. The
values of von Mises stressess and strains for inner surface of the femur and
consideration of bone resorption are essential for the study of Total Hip Replacement
(THR). The restricted types of activities for the patient who undergoes THR surgery
were recommended. From this study it was found that the THR the patient should
not do activities such as stair climbing and adduction. The data for inner stress can
be used as a guide for future implant design and surgical procedure.

Prosedur menggantikan tulang peha dilakukan terhadap tulang paha yang menghidap
penyakit osteoartritis. Tulang peha digantikan bagi menghilangkan kesakitan dan membantu
meningkatkan fungsi gerakan. Dalam kajian alat ganti tulang peha, terdapat beberapa isu
penting, antaranya teknik mengurangkan kegagalan pelekat, tatacara memanjangkan hayat,
teknik mengurangkan faktor-faktor penyebab kegagalan seperti jenis beban, kekuatan simen,
kekuatan antara muka implan, dan tatacara meramalkan kelonggaran alat ganti tulang peha
pada jangka masa tertentu. Skop kajian ini bertumpukan kegagalan yang berkaitan dengan
tegasan sahaja. Objektif utama kajian ini ialah mengkaji kegagalan tegasan pada bahagian
dalam tulang peha dan mencadangkan aktiviti yang sesuai bagi pesakit yang menjalani
pembedahan tulang peha. Dengan mengetahui nilai tegasan pada bahagian dalam tulang
peha, mekanisma kegagalan bagi pelbagai beban dinamik dapat diramal dengan lebih
objektif. Untuk kajian ini, perisian ANSYS Workbench versi 11.0 digunakan. Nilai taburan
tegasan dan terikan bagi tulang peha yang sihat pada kedudukan anterior (A), posterior(P),
medial (M) dan lateral(L) telah diperolehi. Taburan tegasan dan terikan bagi tulang peha
yang sihat semasa berdiri diperolehi. Perubahan tegasan dan terikan bagi penggunaan bahan
berbeza juga dikaji dan diperolehi. Bagi analisis untuk tulang peha dengan implan, dan

tulang peha mengecut dengan implan pula, pelbagai aktiviti telah dilakukan seperti berdiri,
berjalan, menaiki tangga, angkat kaki sebelah, abduksi dan adduksi. Nilai tegasan bagi
pelbagai aktiviti diperolehi dan dibentangkan. Mekanisme kegagalan telah dikaji dan
diperolehi. Nilai-nilai tegasan dan terikan bagi permukaan dalam tulang peha mengecut amat
penting untuk diketahui. Pesakit perlu menghadkan pergerakan mereka setelah pembedahan.
Pesakit juga dinasihatkan untuk mengurangkan aktiviti menaiki tangga dan adduksi.
Maklumat bagi tegasan mekanikal ini amat berguna sebagai panduan merekabentuk alat
ganti tulang peha dan prosedur pembedahan.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
First and foremost, my deepest appreciation and thanks must be expressed to my
academic advisor, Prof. Ir. Dr. Barkawi bin Sahari. He has been an inspiration, my
primary motivator, guidance, support and encouragement throughout my study at
UPM.
I would like to thank also my co-supervisors Professor Dr. Wong Shaw Voon, and
Associate Professor Dr. Manohar for their useful input and wisdom.
Special thanks to Dr. A Halim Kadarman, USM and Mr. Timothy Kwan, CAD-IT
consultant for their assistance in FORTRAN programming and ANSYS
troubleshooting. Their assistance is invaluable. I have learned valuable lesson from
them.
I wish to thank ITMA for providing lab facilities for this research. The atmosphere
at ITMA automotive lab is very conducive for producing exceptional work in the
advancement of numerical study in biomechanics. Thank also for Mr. Nazrul for his
technical support in the lab.
I would like to dedicate this work to my mum, Hajjah Azizah bt Abd Hamid. The
amount of love and support and du’a she has provided me over the entire life
allowed me to progress and complete this thesis.
Lastly, I would like to thank my wife Dr. Siti Mariam, and my children Salman,
Suhaib, Said Bilal and Siti Khadijah for their understanding and encouragement.
