This study aims to develop a patient-specific hip implant for osteoarthritis conditions and to compare with intact and conventional implant. The femoral bone with head and shaft region was segmented from the pelvic griddle and converted into 3D model. The parameters such as femoral ball diameter, shaft length, acetabular cup diameter, and neck angle were measured from the segmented 3D model. In this study, designed part of hip implant was assembled together to form a customized hip implant. The von Mises stress was measured by means of Finite element analysis (FEA) method by applying various forces applied at the distal end of hip implant. The forces applied at hip implant were based on the assumption of 500 N force for standing, 2000 N force for walking, and 3000 N force for jogging condition. The minimum stress attained at the femur bone of custom-model is 1.32 MPa for 500 N loading condition, 5.3 MPa for 2000 N and 7.96 MPa for the maximum load of 3000 N. Thus the customized model experienced better stress distribution compared to conventional model under the maximum load of 3000 N. In pelvic region, the custom model attained a lower stress of 23% compared to conventional model. Thus, the study recommends the customized hip implants for the osteoarthritis conditions to avoid revision surgery.
