Orthopedics, traumatology and prosthetics, Oct 2023

Objective. To conduct a finite element analysis of the stress-strain state (STS) of the elements of the shoulder joint after implantation reverse shoulder endoprostheses. Material and methods. After 3Dscanning of the composite model of the scapula and humerus, geometric models of the shoulder joint were built in the SolidWorks 2019 SP 1.0 program, followed by mathematical modeling and FEA. For the comparative analysis of the STS of the «bone – reverse endoprosthesis» s ystem, t hree-dimensional m odels o f two types of reverse shoulder endoprostheses were created, which were then transformed into a finite-element model and implanted into the developed three-dimensional mathematical model of the shoulder joint without cement. The STS calculations of the elements of endoprostheses were carried out for two positions: abduction 90° and flexion 90° with a load of 5 kg. Results. Compared to the healthy shoulder joint, models with reverse shoulder endoprosthesis have significantly different contact stresses and contact areas. It was established that the maximum stress in the details of the contact parts of the endoprosthesis when retracted at an angle of 90° did not exceed +1.78 MPa, when bending +5.8 MPa. The maximum stresses on the liner during shoulder abduction are +8.6 MPa, the minimum –7.38 MPa, during flexion +2.3 MPa and –2.45 MPa, respectively. It has been proven that the contact areas of the hemisphere and inserts of both reverse endoprostheses during abduction and flexion of the limb by 90° are significantly larger (573 mm2 vs. 1809–2081 mm2) when compared with a healthy shoulder joint, while changes in the area between the endoprostheses are insignificant and equal to 2...3 %. Conclusions. Analysis of the STS load of elements of reverse shoulder endoprosthesis showed that the greatest stresses occur in the contact zones. It has been proven that the maximum stresses on the contact structures of endoprostheses are less than on the head of a healthy joint, but the contact area during implantation of a reversible endoprosthesis of the shoulder joint increases significantly (more than 3 times).

Мета. Провести скінченно-елементний аналіз (СЕА) напружено-деформованого стану (НДС) елементів плечового суглоба та імплантатів двох типів реверсивних ендопротезів плечового суглоба. Матеріал і методи. Після 3D-сканування композитної моделі лопатки та протеза плечової кістки, побудовано геометричну модель плечового суглоба в програмі SolidWorks 2019 SP 1.0 із наступним математичним моделюванням й аналізом НДС. Для порівняльного аналізу НДС системи «кістка – реверсивний ендопротез» створено тривимірні моделі двох типів реверсивних тотальних ендопротезів плечової кістки, які трансформовано в скінченно-елементі моделі й імплантовано в розроблену тривимірну модель плечового суглоба без цементу. Проведено розрахунки НДС елементів ендопротезів плечового суглоба для двох положень: абдукція 90° та згинання 90° з навантаженням 5 кг. Результати. Порівняно зі здоровим плечовим суглобом, моделі з реверсивними тотальними ендопротезами плечового суглоба мають значно інші контактні напруження та площі контакту. Встановлено, максимальне напруження в деталях контактних частин ендопротеза за відведення під кутом 90° не перевищувало +1,78 МПа, згинання +5,8 МПа. Максимальні напруження на вкладці за абдукції плеча +8,6 МПА, мінімальні –7,38 МПа, під час згинання відповідно +2,3 МПа та –2,45 МПа. Доведено, що контактні площі гемісфери та вкладки обох реверсивних ендопротезів за абдукції та згинання кінцівки на 90° значно більше (573 мм2 проти 1809–2081 мм2) порівняно зі здоровим плечовим суглобом, при цьому зміни площі між ендопротезами незначні та дорівнюють 2–3 %. Висновки. Аналіз НДС навантаження елементів реверсивних тотальних ендопротезів показав, що найбільші напруження виникають у їхніх контактних зонах. Доведено, що максимальні напруження на контактних структурах ендопротезів менше ніж на головці здорового суглоба, але площа контакту в разі імплантації реверсивного ендопротеза плечового суглоба значно збільшується (більше ніж у 3 рази). Ключові слова. Плечовий суглоб, реверсивний ендопротез, скінченно-елементний аналіз, тривимірне моделювання. Keywords.

Orthopaedics, traumatology and prosthetics. 2023. № 3 Introduction Finite element analysis (FEA) as one of the research tools in biomechanics was first used by W. Brekelmans [1]. Currently, due to the development of computer technologies and the improvement of mathematical modeling, FEA is a generally recognized effective and non-invasive method of analysis of new implants based on obtaining data on the distribution of deformations and stresses [2-6]. Most fractures of the proximal part of the humerus (FPPH) are known to occur in elderly patients with osteoporosis [7]. Fixation of implants in the proximal part of the humerus against the background of osteoporosis is a difficult task for surgeons. Reversible total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is one of the methods of surgical treatment of patients with fragmented FPPH against the background of osteoporosis [8]. However, FEA assessment requires correct setting of boundary conditions, which is not easy due to the complex structure of the shoulder joint, taking into account all the muscles and ligaments acting together. Since the stability of the shoulder joint is mostly provided by soft tissues, the authors [9–10] were among the first to include the main rotational muscles in the 3D model in addition to the bones, but they were considered as passive structures. Most FEA studies simplified the mathematical model of shoulder joints, ignoring the interaction of muscles, ligaments, bones and other surrounding structures [11–12]. In our opinion, muscles should be considered as dynamic structures, which will allow optimal determination of the resulting movement and contact zones of the artificial endoprosthesis of the shoulder joint. Purpose. To develop a mathematical model of the shoulder joint taking into account the muscles and their attachment, to conduct a comparative analy sis of the stress-strain state (SSS) of the elements of the shoulder joint in normal conditions and after implantation o (...truncated)
