Abstract

This study aims to present a new virtual model of an elbow prosthesis with as few components as possible, having a simpler technological approach which can be an important base for the study of the complex behavior of the elbow joint. The prosthetic system is of spherical type consisting of three parts: a part implanted in the humerus, a part implanted in the ulna bone and a third part transforms the assembly from an unconstrained prosthesis in a semi-constrained prosthesis. The kinematic simulation of the flexion-extension and pronation-supination movements of the spherical prosthesis—joint assembly was performed. The virtual model is designed in Solid Works software. By using the finite element method, the healthy elbow joint and the prosthetic elbow joint assembly were analysed and the comparative diagrams of the maximum stress in healthy elbow joint and in prosthetic elbow joint concerning the flexion-extension and pronation-supination movements were drawn and analysed.
