Structural and Biomechanical Analysis of the Artificial Hintegra Ankle Prosthesis

When treating severe arthritis in the ankle joint, Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA) is a good substitute for arthrodesis.Ankle joints that have been removed or injured can also be replaced with it.In order to determine whether the Hintegra artificial ankle prosthesis can effectively replace damaged human ankle joints, this research will develop and evaluate the device.Making a prosthesis that fits people of all sizes, performs well, and has a greater success rate with fewer failures is the aim.The first step in the project is creating a computer-aided design (CAD) model of a prosthetic ankle that functions and appears like a natural joint.The model will be examined using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to determine how it functions under various forces and circumstances.To make the prosthesis appropriate for a broad spectrum of patients, the design will consider variations in people's height, weight, and degree of activity.The goal of this research is to develop a robust and dependable ankle replacement that will allow patients with injured ankle joints to move normally again.

Abstract

When treating severe arthritis in the ankle joint, Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA) is a good substitute for arthrodesis.Ankle joints that have been removed or injured can also be replaced with it.In order to determine whether the Hintegra artificial ankle prosthesis can effectively replace damaged human ankle joints, this research will develop and evaluate the device.Making a prosthesis that fits people of all sizes, performs well, and has a greater success rate with fewer failures is the aim.The first step in the project is creating a computer-aided design (CAD) model of a prosthetic ankle that functions and appears like a natural joint.The model will be examined using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to determine how it functions under various forces and circumstances.To make the prosthesis appropriate for a broad spectrum of patients, the design will consider variations in people's height, weight, and degree of activity.The goal of this research is to develop a robust and dependable ankle replacement that will allow patients with injured ankle joints to move normally again.
