Abstract
    Total hip replacement is a crucial intervention for patients with fractured hips who face challenges in natural recovery. The design of durable prostheses requires a comprehensive understanding of the natural processes occurring in bone. This article focuses on static loading analysis, specifically during stumbling activity, aiming to enhance the longevity of prosthetic implants. Three distinct implants, Charnley, Osteal, and Thompson, were selected for a detailed study to determine the most appropriate model. The results revealed critical insights into the distribution of Von Mises stresses on the components of femoral arthroplasty, including the cement, implant, and cortical bone. Furthermore, the examination of shear stress within the cement emerged as a pivotal aspect for all three implants, playing a crucial role in evaluating the performance and durability of hip prostheses. The conclusions drawn from this study strongly suggest that the Thompson model stands out as the most suitable choice for hip joint implants.
