Wear Prediction on Total Ankle Replacement

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) models of a right ankle TAR have been created to represent Bologna-Oxford (BOX) TAR model. Finite element analysis of ankle stance phase of gait cycle was developed to simulate the static response behaviour and extract the data in determining the contact pressure on contact surface of the bearing and talar components. Sliding distance was determined by predominate motion of plantar/dorsi flexion of ankle stance phase gait cycle. Validity of contact analysis was conducted to make sure consistent, accurate, and therefore dependable procedures.
