In order to accommodate the high range of motion (ROM) required for daily activities of Asian populations, such as squatting and kneeling, patients with hip joint diseases require prostheses with a large ROM. However, traditional ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) hip prostheses have a prominent contradiction: using larger-diameter femoral heads for high flexion significantly increases the risk of ceramic liner fracture. This study draws bionic inspiration from turtle shell morphology. It applies structural bionic design to develop a large-ROM hip prosthesis. A discrete model is built based on turtle shell structure and ceramic size effects. Finite element simulations and tribological experiments are conducted. The results show that a ROM of 142.9° is achieved, the peak stress is only 34.995 MPa (approximately 50% lower than the accepted 70 MPa safety threshold for alumina ceramics), and compared with traditional monolithic prostheses, stress concentration is reduced by 30% and the crack propagation risk by 40%. Structural reliability is ensured by the finite element-optimized geometry and precision-machined ceramic components (Vickers hardness: 2513.2 MPa, surface roughness: Ra ≤ 0.1 μm). This new prosthesis meets patients’ needs, provides references for other joint designs, and enriches the integration of mechanical and bionic design.
