In replacement surgery of the hip joint, an implant is replaced into the natural femur which
recreates the articulation and functionally of a natural joint. Total hip replacement is …

Hip implants consist of a stem, femoral head, acetabular cup, and backing cup. There is a
wide variety of sizes and lengths. Their adaptability is limited because of the inter …

Short-stem hip implants are increasingly common since they preserve host bone stock and
presumably reduce stress shielding by improving load distribution in the proximal femur …

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

Introduction: There are several commercially available hip implant systems. However, for
some cases, custom implant designed based on patient-specific anatomy can offer the …

Aims There are concerns regarding initial stability and early periprosthetic fractures in
cementless hip arthroplasty using short stems. This study aimed to investigate stress on the …

Purpose. To establish a new approach for measuring and locating the femoral
intramedullary canal isthmus in 3‐dimensional (3D) space. Methods. Based on the …

A comparative study between two stems (Linea Anatomic and Minihip) has been performed
in order to analyse the differences in their biomechanical behaviour, concerning stem …

Cementless hip stems are fixed to the surrounding bone by means of press-fit. To ensure a
good press-fit, current surgical technique specifies an under-reaming of the bone cavity …

Introduction The femoral stem should protrude from femur by an appropriate vertical
distance to allow leg length equalization at hip arthroplasty; this distance depends on the …
