Accurate detection of implant loosening is crucial for early intervention in total hip replacements, but current imaging methods lack sensitivity and specificity. Vibration methods, already successful in dentistry, represent a promising approach. In order to detect loosening of the total hip replacement, excitation and measurement should be performed intracorporeally to minimize the influence of soft tissue on damping of the signals. However, only implants with a single sensor intracorporeally integrated into the implant for detecting vibrations have been presented in the literature. Considering different mode shapes, the sensor's position on the implant is assumed to influence the signals. In the work at hand, the influence of the position of the sensor on the recording of the vibrations on the implant was investigated. For this purpose, a simplified test setup was created with a titanium rod implanted in a cylinder of artificial cancellous bone. Mechanical stimulation via an exciter attached to the rod was recorded by three accelerometers at varying positions along the titanium rod. Three states of peri-implant loosening within the bone stock were simulated by extracting the bone material around the titanium rod, and different markers were analyzed to distinguish between these states of loosening. In addition, a modal analysis was performed using the finite element method to analyze the mode shapes. Distinct differences in the signals recorded by the acceleration sensors within defects highlight the influence of sensor position on mode detection and natural frequencies. Thus, using multiple sensors could be advantageous in accurately detecting all modes and determining the implant loosening state more precisely. |
