Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Total hip replacement means a kind of prosthesis similar to human bone and joint made by the material with good biocompatibility; it can replace the joint or joint plane injured by disease or damage, ease joint pain, correct deformities prosthesis and improve the active function of the joint.
OBJECTIVE: To multi-level explore and analyze the development trend of the research on the classification and design of artificial hip prosthesis.
METHODS: A computer-bases search was performed in CNKI database from January 2002 to December 2011 for the literatures related to classification and design of artificial hip prosthesis, the key words were “total hip replacement, artificial hip prosthesis, prosthesis design, type of prosthesis”, and the analysis capabilities of the database and Excel chart function were used to analyze the data characteristics.
RBSULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 135 literatures related to the classification and design of artificial hip prosthesis were screened out from CNKI database (2002/2011), and the number of the literature was on an increasing trend. Most of the literatures were the surgery literatures. As the Journal of Clinical Rehabilitative Tissue Engineering Research has the medical implant column, 33 literatures on the classification and design of artificial hip prosthesis were published. Shanghai Jiao Tong University is the key units for the research of the classification and design of artificial hip prosthesis. And professor Wang Cheng-tao is the main core author of this study. The key words show that the hip and femur biomechanical problem, as well as finite element analysis of artificial hip joint prosthesis, renovated and prosthesis aseptic loosening are the main problem for the classification and design of artificial hip prosthesis.
