Computational modeling of hip implants 391
This chapter is focused on the bene ts of modeling investigations related
to arti cial hip joint procedures. The state of the art in relation to hip
implants is well described in such works as that by Hernigou et al . (2005),
and the history of arti cial hip joints will not be detailed in this text. To
be concise, there are three main combinations of materials currently avail-
able on the hip implant market which have been developed and improved
over time: metal on metal (MoM), metal on polymer (MoP) and ceramic
on ceramic (CoC). Ceramic on polymer coupling is also used, but for the
purposes of modeling can be considered as MoP. We are going to focus on
two assemblies. The  rst of these is ...
