Finite element has been used for more than four decades to study and evaluate the
mechanical behaviour total joint replacements. In Huiskes seminal paper “Failed innovation …

Background and objective The aim of the present study was to review the literature
concerning the analysis of periprosthetic bone remodeling through finite element (FE) …

Stress shielding-related bone loss occurs after total hip arthroplasty because the stiffness of
metallic implants differs from that of the host femur. Although reducing stem stiffness can …

Bone loss caused by stress shielding of metallic implants is a concern, as it can potentially
lead to long-term implant failure. Surface coating and reducing structural stiffness of implants …

The success of a total hip arthroplasty is strongly related to the initial stability of the femoral
component and to the stress shielding effect. In fact, for cementless stems, initial stability is …

The use of a more compliant material, such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK), for a
cementless femoral component is a potential solution to prevent aseptic loosening caused …

Currently available implants for direct attachment of prosthesis to the skeletal system after
transfemoral amputation (OPRA system, Integrum AB, Sweden and ISP Endo/Exo …

Direct attachment of an upper leg prosthesis to the skeletal system by a percutaneous
implant is an alternative solution to the traditional socket fixation. In this study, we …

The coated porous section of stem surface is initially filled with callus that undergoes
osseointegration process, which develops a bond between stem and bone, lessens the …

The incapability of controlling relative micromotions and load transfers to a peri-prosthetic
femur shortens implant longevity. This study aims to evaluate the possibility of applying …
