TL;DR: In this article , the effect of various parameters on the velocity, microrotation, temperature, microbe compactness, and concentration of nanoparticles are determined. And the reduced system of equations is solved using the finite element technique (FEM).

TL;DR: Conclusively, the topology optimization method used for the design of pelvic prostheses improves the biomechanical performance of the implants with reduced weight and higher stiffness than the traditional implants.

TL;DR: The study on the load transmission functionality of prosthesis indicated that it is crucial to carry out finite element analysis for functional evaluation of the designed customized prosthesis before three-dimensional printing manufacturing, allowing better understanding of the possible peak stresses within the bone as well as the implants for safety precaution.

TL;DR: A hemi-pelvic finite element model, including a custom-made prosthesis and the surrounded main ligaments, was created to study the strength and stability of the pelvic system and indicates that the pre-stress should not exceed 1000 N during surgery to prevent fatigue fractures from happening to screws.

TL;DR: The predicted maximum von Mises stress of the screws and prosthesis was below the fatigue strength of the 3D printed Ti-6Al-4V, which indicated the prosthesis can provide a reliable mechanical performance after implantation.
