Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Many methods are used to treat adult developmental dysplasia of the hip, such as pericapsular osteotomy and rotational acetabular osteotomy. Due to the limitation of technical conditions, the curative effect is different. Although these methods have improved the relationship between the head and the acetabulum in varying degrees, there is still a certain gap from the ideal state, and some patients have poor results with continuous disease development.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the feasibility and effectiveness of acetabular reconstruction in adult hip dysplasia by three-dimensional finite element method and provide theoretical basis for future clinical research.
METHODS: Thin-slice CT data of unilateral hip dysplasia patient were collected. Mimics 15.0 and Hypermesh were used to establish the model of healthy hip and dysplasia hip, and location and scope of bony defect were calculated, then model of reconstruction of the acetabulum was established by simulating tools. The Von Mises stress distribution in the subchondral bone of each hip joint was analyzed under the condition of single foot standing using Ansys 10.0.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The results of each model were consistent with the actual situation, and the maximum Von Mises stress value appeared in the acetabular dome and the posteromedial femoral neck. (2) The bone defect appeared in the anterolateral part of acetabulum, the size was 43 mm×14 mm×7 mm. (3) The Von Mises stress peak values of each group after stress loading in the healthy hip were femoral head (2.800±0.012) MPa, acetabulum (3.855±0.035) MPa; femoral head of affected hip (5.066±0.026) MPa; acetabulum (8.168±0.034) MPa; reconstructed hip femoral head (2.769±0.085) MPa, acetabulum (3.804±0.132) MPa. Statistical analysis showed that the peak Von Mises stress in each part of the affected hip was significantly higher than that in the other two groups (P < 0.001). The values between reconstructed hip and healthy hips were similar (P > 0.05), suggesting that the stress distribution of hip joint was normal after acetabular reconstruction. (4) The stress analysis of finite element model indicates that acetabular reconstruction can restore the mechanical structure of hip joint, and this method is feasible to treat adult early developmental dysplasia of the hip.
