There is often evidence of impingement in maloriented prosthetic hip implants. Impingement has been proven to be one of the underlying biomechanical problems contribute to most of the post-operative complications after a total hip arthroplasty. This thesis aims to develop a patient specific impingement model for identifying and visualising prosthetic impingement during pre-operative surgical planning by utilising a combination of mathematical modelling and 3D computational simulation. Further, this thesis will investigate well-known key spinopelvic risk factors and their relationship to prosthetic impingement using the developed impingement model. |
