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 …

Mechanical environment has a crucial role in our organism at the different levels, ranging
from cells to tissues and our own organs. This regulatory role is especially relevant for …

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 …

Osseointegration, understood as an intimate apposition and interdigitation of bone to a
biomaterial, is usually regarded as a major condition for the long-term clinical success of …

It is well founded that the mechanical environment may regulate bone regeneration in
orthopedic applications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical …

In order to gain insight into the micro-mechanical behavior of the cement–bone interface, the
effect of parametric variations of frictional, morphological and material properties on the …

The best methods to manage tibial bone defects following total knee arthroplasty remain
under debate. Different fixation systems exist to help surgeons reconstruct knee osseous …

Probabilistic analyses allow the effect of uncertainty in system parameters to be determined.
In the literature, many researchers have investigated static loading effects on dental …

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 …

Background Proximal tibial open wedge osteotomy (PTO) is a corrective operation used in
the surgery of lower extremities and is applied to patients with varus deformities for sufficient …
