Experimental and numerical research of mechanical behaviour of hip replacement implant is presented. Experimental analysis was based on standard methods for testing mechanical properties and application of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique, while the Finite Element Method (FEM) was used for numerical simulation. A hip prosthesis extracted from a patient after revision surgery was used as the specimen. An adapter for the implant testing was constructed to enable the condition of a proximally loosened stem. During FEM analysis, a solid model was made of the assembly. An analysis of presented results indicated good agreement of experimental and numerical research.
