With the continuous quest of developing hydrogel for cartilage regeneration with superior
mechanobiological properties are still becoming a challenge. Chitosan (CS) hydrogels are …

Arthritis leads to severe joint pain that affects millions each year and has a drammatic effect
on the quality of life. The burden of disease continues to grow drammatically–the 2 most …

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 …

Primary press-fit fixation of femoral knee prostheses is obtained thanks to the inside
dimensions of the implant being undersized with respect to the bone cuts created intra …

For biomechanical simulations of orthopaedic interventions, it is imperative to implement a
material model that can realistically reproduce the nonlinear behavior of the bone structure …

Background Extension stems provide stability to revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKA).
Little is known regarding the relationship between stem characteristics and RTKA stability …

Finite element (FE) simulations can be used to evaluate the mechanical behavior of human
bone and allow for quantitative prediction of press-fit implant fixation. An adequate material …

Cementless femoral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) components use a press-fit (referred to as
interference fit) to achieve initial fixation. A higher interference fit could lead to a superior …

It is essential to calculate micromotions at the bone-implant interface of an uncemented
femoral total knee replacement (TKR) using a reliable computational model. In the current …

Intramedullary implant fixation is achieved through a press-fit between the implant and the
host bone. A stronger press-fit between the bone and the prosthesis often introduces …
