Popis: In this work, the design and numerical evaluation of a personalized hip prosthesis for a 31-year-old male patient, who suffered of unilateral coxarthrosis, was performed. Based on the information obtained of the patient’s computerized axial tomography and the employment of specialized design platforms such as Solidworks®, a numerical analysis was performed for the prosthetic model in conjunction with the anthropometric data of the patient following the finite element mathematical method. Furthermore, the natural posture of the patient was taken into consideration every time the patient balanced the total weight on one leg. Furthermore, the structural mechanical evaluation of the prostheses was set under evaluation, considering the osseous integration of the femoral bone and the acetabulum before and after surgery.
