The osseous pelvis is a frequent site of metastases. Alteration of bone integrity may lead to
pain but also to functional disability and pathological fractures. Percutaneous image-guided …

Use of porous lattice structures and functionally graded (FG) implants in orthopaedic
applications has emerged as a promising solution to reduce stress shielding. However …

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 …

Fixation of uncemented implant is influenced by peri-prosthetic bone ingrowth, which is
dependent on the mechanical environment of the implant–bone structure. The objective of …

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of implant orientation and implant material
on tibia bone strain, implant–bone micromotion, maximum contact pressure, and wear depth …

Recent developments in acetabular implants suggest flexible, alternative bearing material
that may reduce wear and peri-prosthetic bone resorption. The goal of this study was to …

Objective The goal of this study is to develop a realistic three dimensional FE model of intact
ankle joint. Methods Three dimensional FE model of the intact ankle joint was developed …

The use of finite element analysis (FEA) to investigate the biomechanics of anatomical
systems critically relies on the specification of physiologically representative boundary …

Background and objectives The conical stemmed design of the tibial component for total
ankle replacement (TAR)(example Mobility design) uses a single intramedullary stem for …

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), a common material for artificial joint
linings, lacks appropriate bioactivity and antibacterial property, which could lead to …
