Biomechanical and Functional Performance of Hip Prosthesis Materials in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review

Abstract This systematic review aimed to evaluate the biomechanical properties, functional performance, and clinical outcomes of different hip prosthesis materials and designs used in total hip arthroplasty (THA). A comprehensive search strategy identified 34 peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2024. The materials investigated included cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo), titanium alloys, [...] Read more.
This systematic review aimed to evaluate the biomechanical properties, functional performance, and clinical outcomes of different hip prosthesis materials and designs used in total hip arthroplasty (THA). A comprehensive search strategy identified 34 peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2024. The materials investigated included cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo), titanium alloys, PEEK, ceramics, and advanced surface coatings such as polycrystalline diamond (PCD). In addition, dual mobility systems, lattice structures, and additively manufactured and patient-specific implants were assessed. The studies utilized clinical trials, finite element analysis, and biomechanical testing to compare outcomes such as wear resistance, stress distribution, osseointegration, and range of motion. The findings demonstrated that titanium alloys and porous lattice structures reduce stress shielding, while ceramics and CoCrMo provide superior wear resistance. Dual mobility implants improved joint stability and range of motion, particularly in high-risk patients. PEEK and PCD showed promising properties but lacked robust long-term data. The integration of advanced manufacturing technologies and material innovations has led to more personalized and biomechanically efficient solutions for THA. Further longitudinal studies are needed to validate these developments. This review provides a critical synthesis of the biomechanical, functional, and clinical implications of contemporary hip prosthetic systems.
