Orthopedic Applications 

Developing Next Generation Orthopedic Devices with In Silico Methods

Orthopedic implant manufacturers use in silico technologies to develop innovative and durable implants that conform to patients’ physiology and comply with MRI compatibility and safety requirements.  

Optimize Design and Personalize Implants Through Simulation

As life expectancy rises and implants are used in younger patients, companies are racing to extend the life of their devices. Innovative replacement therapies are being developed for aging hips, knees, shoulders, and spines, to name a few. Ansys, part of Synopsys, provides the in silico technologies, such as computational modeling and simulation (CM&S), artificial intelligence (AI), and digital twins, that combine multiphysics simulation with models of tissues, materials, patient-specific physiology, surgical procedures, and manufacturing processes.  

Though no two patients are alike, simulation enables the design and development of prostheses and implants tuned to a large proportion of the general population or customized to a patient’s specific requirements. 

Improve the Reliability of Implants 

Certify MRI Compatibility

Coupled electro-thermal analysis can evaluate the temperature increase due to MRI interaction with implanted prostheses.
