Numerous mechanobiological algorithms have been developed in recent years to
simulate biological processes such as bone remodelling and tissue differentiation.
However, the implementation of such algorithms for the design and testing of orthopaedic
devices has yet to be fully realised. In this thesis a mechanoregulation
algorithm based on a combined strain-damage remodelling rule together with the
integration of a tissue differentiation algorithm is proposed. Such a mechanoregulation
approach was tested using a finite element model of a uncemented femoral hip
prosthesis under idealized bonding characteristics. Three stem materials (iso-elastic,
titanium , and CoCrMo) were investigated and compared to previous numerical and
clinical observations to corroborate the predictive power of the algorithms.
