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 …

Ever since Julius Wolff proposed the law of bone transformation in the 19th century, it has
been widely known that the trabecular structure of cancellous bone adapts functionally to the …

With particular interest on total hip arthroplasty (THA), optimization of orthopedic prostheses
is employed in this work to minimize the probability of implant failure or maximize prosthesis …

Since the late 1980s, computational analysis of total hip arthroplasty (THA) prosthesis
components has been completed using macro-level bone remodeling algorithms. The …

Background The long-term success of total ankle replacement (TAR) depends on both bone
ingrowth and remodelling. The extreme values of implant-bone micromotion hinder bone …

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 …

Biological structures are continually adapting to changes in their physical environment. In
bones, for example, it has been widely accepted that mineral tissue is resorbed in regions …

Aseptic loosening is the most common failure mode for total hip arthroplasty, and the design
of the implant plays a significant role in influencing the longevity and stability of the implant …

Background Dense and stiff metallic femoral stems implanted into femurs for total hip
arthroplasties produce a stress shielding effect since they modify the original load sharing …

Background There are several numerical investigations on bone remodelling after total hip
arthroplasty (THA) on the basis of the finite element analysis (FEA). For such computations …
