Numerous studies have shown that human bone has the ability to remodel itself to better
adapt to its biomechanical environment by changing both its material properties and …

BACKGROUND: Stress shielding around a femoral stem is usually assessed experimentally
using composite or human cadaver femurs. In the present study we have explored the …

Modelling and remodelling are the processes by which bone adapts its shape and internal
structure to external influences. However, the cellular mechanisms triggering osteoclastic …

Prostheses alter the loading pattern in bones. For example femoral hip implants cause the
cortical bone to remodel and the implant/bone interface to react. To date, simulations of peri …

Failure mechanisms of the resurfaced femoral head include femoral neck fracture in the
short term and stress shielding and implant loosening in the long term. In this study, finite …

This work presents a computational model for the concurrent study of bone remodelling and
ingrowth around cementless femoral stems in total hip arthroplasty. It is assumed that …

The finite element method (FEM) was first introduced to the field of orthopedic biomechanics
in the early 1970s to evaluate stresses in human bones. By the early 1980s, the method had …

The purpose of this study was to show a change in proximal femur surface strains following
total hip arthroplasty and after the addition of BoneSource hydroxyapatite bone cement in …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) on the Ti–30Nb–1Fe–1Hf alloy has been fabricated via anodic
oxidation followed with the hydrothermal treatment. The anodic oxide film (AOF) containing …

Titanium and its alloys have been widely used in medical fields, such as for dental and
orthopedic implant material applications, due to their excellent mechanical properties …
